He does have his facts right. In 2006 Mercruiser switched to iron manifolds and stainless risers from the aluminum/stainless manifold riser combination before 2006. They were having warranty issues from the aluminum manifolds in saltwater where owners where not flushing with fresh water after use. Its a good idea to flush with fresh water after every use in salt water even with the newer (heavier) iron manifolds.
