I just ran my boat for the first time this year in order to change the oil. As I was running it I noticed that one of the risers was a little warmer than the other. The water flow out that side was about 80% of the other. I'm not sure if this may be because I was using the flush kit or if I may have some corrosion in that riser. The temp never did get above 150 and I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't touched the risers. I was wondering if it is worth pulling off the risers or just wait to see how it is during the first run out on the lake.

It's quite normal for one side to run hotter than the other when on muffs. Just not enough water that you would get with being in the water.
