I'm restoring a 1959 Mark 35a and the water passages are EXTREMELY dirty.
The tell-tale hole was completely packed with dirt, and the inlet tube leading from the impeller was blocked with at least an inch of grease/dirt mixture. (Note* I do not have the lower unit attached, so it's just the bare inlet tube exposed for now).
What should I do to clean out all the water passages without driving more dirt further in? Can i just run some degreaser through there or something? If so, how?
