Lack of use. If you are spending all day flaming people in an internet
newsgroup, your risers may be excessively corroded on the inside. Yours
are probably fine since you only chose them to make a rare on-topic post.

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

Like writing jingles? or shilling for unions and politicians?

Imagine anything you like, but try not to strain yourself. I'm going to

A sore point for me, because I went to public schools in Connecticut.
Back in my day, a moron like Scott would not have been socially promoted
over and over so he could get a high school diploma. I agree with your
observation that Scott and flajim are about equal, intellectually.

Only uneducated morons like you think the demographics of small city

Of course, I went to high school. There's no evidence you did.

Lack of use. If you are spending all day flaming people in an internet
newsgroup, your risers may be excessively corroded on the inside. Yours
are probably fine since you only chose them to make a rare on-topic post.

IOW you don't know what the hell you're talking about

figures.

Cracks on the outside ( you'll see rust stains )

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.

So, you went right from chipping paint on old navy ships to
sucking
used lower unit oil out of outdrives?

His lips are of Olympic capabilities after years& years of
training.

See. This is what earned you a seat on the short bus.

It's hard to imagine you performing any sort of really skilled work.
You
don't seem to have the smarts for upper level work.

Moose sure sounds like the Idiot Of Connecticut. The writing style
sure reeks of stupidity.

A sore point for me, because I went to public schools in Connecticut..
Back in my day, a moron like Scott would not have been socially
promoted
over and over so he could get a high school diploma. I agree with your
observation that Scott and flajim are about equal, intellectually.

You were the token white boy in your high school. It's a wonder you
survived.

Only uneducated morons like you think the demographics of small city
don't change over time. When I was in one of the public high schools
there, the mix was approximately 75% white, 15% black, and 10% "others.."

Of course, I went to high school. There's no evidence you did.

We only have your word on this. And we all know how reliable that is. Eh
Harriet?

Nice try. Is it true you went into the navy because you didn't have the
smarts to complete high school? I'd believe that.

What did you do in the navy? Clean the head?

No, he GAVE head.

You didnt mention what the engine/drive setup is. I have no idea what
make of riser you're talking about. I was referring to mine, an
ancient OMC setup. In my manual, a test for air is to replace two of
the riser water output lines to check for air bubbles moving through
the lines when the engine is idling.
I imagine you're using something far newer than mine. But, as you can
see...Moosy just has to show its true colors, and pollute the thread,
without explanation of what its talking about. I'm no Mechanic, just a
driveway hero.I fix my own Boat, and it runs fine.

I would think that Risers used in Salt Water should be cleaned about
every 100 hours of steady use. If stationary, maybe every 150 hours.
Thats a guess, but Moosy will no doubt pollute us again with his idle
threats, and impish bull****.

You need to buy some new risers. JBWeld is not going to stay in
cracks, the expansion coefficient is to different. You're just asking
for problems.

Thats funny, because the last application lasted TWO YEARS without
water penetrating through it. And the only reason I removed that
application, was to boil them out. I've had that statement said to me
before.
It has also lasted over two years on the block cracks the engine has .
I check them constantly. Are you getting your information first hand,
as in your experience...or just heresay?
If its first hand, you didnt clean the repaired area well enough.
