"Hello everyone,
I'm new on this Website,so I hope I'm following posting rules,I posted same message, but I believe in the wrong place unable to delete it.Just purchased 1980 Silverline inboard with a Mercruiser 260 hp V8. (Chevy).Test drove it for about 1 hr in river,ran great temp. at 160.Took it to lake yesterday for first time
did just fine,stopped for about couple of hrs to fish.While going back to dock (not at full speed) engine overheated to 240 and stopped running waited 'till engine cooled and finally made it to launch, engine again overheating,checked belts all intact at that point oil pressure was low. I used the garden hose today oil pressure back to normal,pulling water but don't know if its letting it out.Never owned a boat before have no idea where to start.Any suggestion greatly appreciated."
