    Manifold & Riser schedule for replacing? Corrosion?

    Re: Manifold & Riser schedule for replacing? Corrosion? Thanks for the welcome and advice. I popped down to the boat earlier to checkout the oil (looks new) and I took another photo of one of the risers. I'm not sure whether how it looks means it's gone bad?
