Are they used in Salt, or Fresh Water?


Cracks on the outside ( you'll see rust stains ) . Cracks on the
inside are hard to immediately see. Over heating is a sure sign. Using
clear tubing while idling...do you see any bubbles passing through? I
just rebuilt my 40 year old Risers over the winter. Soaking them in
Pickling Vinegar worked great to clean them out. After that, I scored
out the cracks very slightly with the Dremel, and put a nice coat of
JB Weld over top, followed by a coat of Tremclad white.The finishing
touch was to paint the Exhaust Stubs with High Heat Enamel. They do
look nice now.


You've had your warning. The next one won't be so subtle. Spell
hydrolock, or is it hydralock?


Looks as though you've had a " brainlock ". Get with the topic, or
keep your pie-hole shut. You've added nothing to this thread but pure
****.


Since you are such a dimwit, i won't bother explaining the process to
you. BTW it was spot on topic.


Then you should have been a real man about it, and explained yourself.
But perhaps you cant, and just slink off like the coward you are.
