Run without them. Volvo doesn't install them anymore anyway.

Could be you just have too many people on the back of the boat when you have the engine shut off. 3 or 4 people on the back of the boat while a skier climbs in from the back will put the risers lower than the water line. Even flappers would cure that problem. Riser extensions would.
