Sold my first boat to a friend in S. Florida. LiL BonBini spent her entire life running in the fresh waters of lower Michigan. When I got her with 1250hrs showing, she was with coolant system rust to the point of coolant regulator and housing repair needed. The manifolds and risers looked to be original. I didn’t really run the boat more than a tank of gas.
I spoke with my friend before the purchase about risers and manifolds being part of b-o-a-t maintenance. LiL Bon has been down in the Atlantic, at a private dock for seven mos now. In the water the whole time. Sounds like she gets out one - two times a week.
My friend tell me he gets in the water (2-3ft), puts the muffs on and rinses her out after every run.
I’m getting a little concerned it may be very close to before failure manifold time! What do you guys think?
Also: What do you guys think of a Fresh Water Conversion Kit at manifold time vs. muff rinsing or some sorta dock hose rinse?
Many Thanks. …Ron
