Hi there!
I took a 1996 bayliner with mercruiser 5.7 (with 3" exhaust riser) pass weekend and the starboard exhaust manifold heated up. I open it up and see alot of rust scales inside, I clean them all out reinstalled with new gaskets. I hope thing go good for next trip. Have you guys have this problem like this before and is there any more done needed to fix this problem. Any advise will be apreciated.

Ayuh,... It's quite common on saltwater boats...

Replacing 'em is the Cure...
