I need a riser for my 2006 merc 496 for my 06 38 sundancer. My mechanic found a small leak in it and said it can either be repaired by a very good welder or to purchase a new one. Merc does not make those risers anymore. Does anyone know where I can find one ? Seems I can only find the standard and 2" riser.
 
I would hunt Ebay as I was able to find some risers for my hard to find parts for 470's. They will be used most likely but in good condition.
 
Try Nuwave Marine.

Are you sure your boat has 3 inch height elbows? I've just pulled mine (also 2006 38 da) and mine have the 2 inch elbows i.e. 10.5 inches tall as per the following link.

My mechanic was animate that they were 3” which I thought was strange . Then he measured and the measurement was 10.5 inches but he was still calling them 3” . I ended picking up a pair on Great Lakes skipper for a great deal .
