I have twin 230hp mercruisers and decided to put new manifolds and risers one 1 motor this season and the other gets done next season.I replaced with Osco in May,used it all season with no problems.Upon winterizing this week I noticed a quarter inch rust ring at the riser manifold connection.I suspect a slight seepage.Am I tweeking the risers down or am I removing the risers and replacing the gaskets?????Charlie

Did you use anything like permatex when you first installed?
