3.0LX Exhaust Riser Question

[Rake722]

We have a 1994 3.0 LX with Gen2. We use it in salt water in Greece.

I changed the riser for a genuine one 5 years ago. The boat only spends 4-6 weeks a year in the sea and is only used for 2-4 weeks in a year.

Would you still replace the riser every 3-4 years in consideration of how little use it gets ?

Thanks
Rake

It's worth a few gaskets to inspect.

I would pull the elbow every few years to inspect the elbow and the manifold

do you flush after use? that will extend the life of the elbow and manifold (still inspect every few years)
