"I have a 2004 Silverton 34C t
"I have a 2004 Silverton 34C that has twin 8.1 Crusader Motors. The motors have around 300 hours on them and I am presently in my sixth season with them. I boat in salt water in the North East.
I am trying to figure out what parts need to be replaced in reference to the risers and manifold. I hear conflicting stories and am confused.
I was told that because the motors are “fully closed freshwater cooled” , that the risers can last much longer than five or six seasons, but the “elbows” should be replaced.
What is the real deal here and with the hours I have and the age, what parts should be replaced?
Thanks
Walter"
