I have just purchased a used 3
I have just purchased a used 33' Carver that has been repowered 5 years ago with used Crusader 350 XL engines each with ~900 hours. I am thinking it would be a good idea to replace the manifolds and my mechanic has recommended this. My question is: what is a reasonable life expectancy for the manifolds in a salt water (closed fresh water cooling) environment? Is there anything else I should replace at the same time (risers)?
