Hello,
I have a raw water cooled Mercruiser 350 and I'm wondering if I have my hoses routed correctly to the manifolds/risers. I attached a link to a picture of the current setup. It looks to me that the hoses to the riser/manifold in the left of the photo are backwards, but id like to be sure before i swap them. The hse to the left riser comes off the thermostat housing and the hose to the bottom of the left manifold comes off the "water neck" in front. The other riser and manifold are exactly opposite of this. I just purchased this boat and would like to correct this (if needed) before starting.

Thanks

Diagram shows that the port side riser & manifold hoses ought to be swapped. I think you are right.

Thanks guys. I fiqured by the looks of it that they were wrong, but it never hurts to double check.
