This is my second summer with my new to me 2002 360 Sundancer with 8.1 horizons. When I purchased it I was unable to get any service records. I had the boat and engines surveyed with very good results. My question is how do I know what to look for or when to change my manifolds. I took the risers off the port engine for a repair and from what I could see there was no rust just black carbon. My dilemma is that I have been hearing about aluminum manifolds on these boats. I put a magnet on each and it only stuck to one on the port side. Hard to believe they are original after sixteen years, and why would someone only replace one side of one engine. The boat was bought on the Chesapeake bay but could have been in fresh water. I had it in salt water in New Jersey last summer and in the upper Chesapeake this summer
