"Hello all, great site! I have
"Hello all, great site! I have a 5.0 Mercruiser with an Alpha 1 outdrive. I have a BIG problem, I removed all the drain plugs for the winter(I thought)Well you know where this is going-I have a cracked block, my question is since its a 305 mercruiser(GM motor) can I replace the block with a regular Chevy block. I have had the boat for a year now and also have a problem with the boat taking on water when its sitting, when its moving it takes on very little water, its coming in below the drive shaft, someone told me it could be the bellows? When I have the motor pulled I just want to make sure fix that problem also. Any help would be greatly appreciated"
