Exhaust route issues

[TJboutwell]

I'm in need of help.
I have a 1997 tige pre2200wt v drive , I'm in the process of building a mercruiser mag mpi
And I've ran into a clearance issue. The risers pointing towards the pulleys hit the oil filter and the alternator. Can I face the risers the other direction some how?

Yes, a lot of guys flip their risers.

Pull the 4 bolts out on each riser
Clean the sealing surface
Apply a generous amount of new sealant (not sure if there is a gasket in there or not someone who has first hand knowledge could verify)
Flip the riser around
When I did mine on my old boat it was 3" exhaust hose (IIRC)
Should be able to run the hoses under the motor and back to the exits.
My advice-Dump the worm gear hose clamps and spend a little extra for T-Clamps. They give way better pressure and don't pinch the hose when it gets hot.

Good Luck-I will be crossing this bridge in a few years when I remove my mufflers. Post Pics of your install if you don't mind!!
