Has anyone changed out the exhaust riser on the 50 hp engine? Can you advise the cost and source of the replacement riser for the job? My boat is a 1992 2-cabin MK1 model. The hoses clamped at the "y" of the riser have began to seep saltwater around the hose clamps, leaving fairly significant dried salt deposits on the outsides. The hoses look fine when inspected, but I remember reading here that the riser needs to be changed every 5-7 years. Is this job a major hassle?
Thank you for any help.
