I'm wondering about the durability of a manifold. Specifically, I want to know how long it typically lasts before it needs to be replaced.

    On the other hand, manifolds used in freshwater conditions and lightly operated can last much longer.

    Experts generally agree that a manifold has a lifespan ranging from six to eight years.

    In specific conditions, such as heavy use in saltwater, the life expectancy of a manifold can significantly decrease.

    In such environments, the manifold's lifespan may drop to as low as three years due to the corrosive effects of saltwater.

    Freshwater boats, when used sparingly, can enjoy up to 20 years of service from their manifolds.
