    replacing stainless steel riser

    I'm getting ready to change out my manifolds on a Mercruiser 7.4L. I have the old style stainless risers currently, and I'm planning on replacing those with new. Will the bracket for the remote oil filter I currently have (p/n 817403-0) work with new risers?
