Hello, looking to purchase a 2000 SR 270 Dancer with 7.4L MPI.
There are no accurate records of when the last time the risers / manifolds were replaced.
The boat is in fresh water and has 397 hours.
I noticed some rust on the gasket where the riser and manifold meet. Is there any way to test to see if water is leaking and has caused engine damage, besides just cracking open the gasket and looking?
What do you think is the likelihood there has been water intrusion?
Would a compression test help determine if there has been water damage?
Thanks!
