Merc Y-pipe durability

I have a Bravo 1 drive from 1988 with silent choice. Does anyone know for how long the merc Y-pipe going down to the drive will last? The boat is in the water for 6 months a year and has been so for 15 years now.

I just did an '89 cigarette. The bottom flange was corroded causing some raw water leakage. If you need a set I know where you can get some "take-off's"

US1, thanks for the referral.

We do have a bunch of new ones (includes flappers) that we can sell for $150. I recently added the ability to overide the regular pricing on individule items to the site, but have not loaded all the special pricing yet.
