I took a 1993 Lund American with Mercruiser 470 (3.7L) in it. I finally got it running with new points and condenser, however when I took it out on the water it overheated within 5 minutes. There was water that blew out of the "radiator" cap, so would this mean the cap isn't holding the correct pressure, or thermostat is staying closed, or the water pump, or the impeller??? I was an auto mechanic for several years in the army and then afterwards, but this marine engine cooling system I'm not familiar with as of yet, I'm learning as I go. Any offers of help as to what I need to start with here would be great.
I posted before, but I don't think it worked. If it did work, then I'm sorry to post on same subject again.
