Where can I take exhaust risers and manifolds to get cleaned and inspected in West Michigan? The boat was in salt water and now is in fresh water. Motors are Crusader 8.1s

Pretty sure the exhaust manifolds are inside the coolant loop on those engines and not subject to sea water corrosion. As far as the risers go if you want to clean them you can try a radiator shop. Ive had good luck with the shop over by west marine in Holland. Otherwise you may want to look into replacing them as a preferred option. Crusader offered a "heated riser" option which I think runs coolant through a half raiser, with raw water exiting the top. so check which version you have before ordering any new parts.

A good radiator shop can also clean your hear exchanger core if needed. There are products that will chemically clean them as well.

Good luck

We use M/E Yachts on the North side of Holland. They inspected and serviced Crusader manifolds on our last boat, and they take care of our Tiara now. Honest and knowledgable. Probably a little higher $$ than some, but IMO worth it because of reputation.

ME is a great full service outfit. They know what they are doing and take pride in their work. They also know Tiaras inside and out. When I require any work it goes to ME. if you are looking to contract the work definitely give them a call.
