    "and seen stuff with 500 hours on them that look new......"

    It sounds like it may have something to do with the installations. Maybe some boats are plumbed in a way that the water flow is less, and the headers run hotter. If salt water gets a chance to turn to steam, I'd suspect that would be pretty bad on any material. Does it seem like some brands of boats using certain sea strainers have more problems than others?

    I had a lengthy discussion with CMI a few years ago about this. From what I was told, the pipes made by CMI for mercury were of a different material. If you buy the headers directly from CMI, they are made out of a better grade metal
