New here .. question .. does anyone proactively replace risers and manifolds if so how often

Safebuster · May 23, 2019

Hi all .. Just put my boat in the water it's fine but i was thinking I haven't replaced the risers and manifolds since I bought it in 2013 (it's a 2004 Maxum) .. I don't know if they were ever replaced before that, they look brand new and I'm not having any issues with them getting hot .. I was just wondering ..

Is this a saltwater engine. Or has it been a saltwater engine?

If you're worried about them, replace them and stop worrying! I would if it's been that long.
