As the start of the season draws closer i have it my head that i would like to take my mercruiser 5.0 thunderbolt out of my 99 searay 215 and have a good look at my motor, give it a service and maybe repaint my engine bay and install and new bilge pump. ive had a few overheating issues with the left side of my manifolds and although i have replaced the manifold and risers id like to pull the manifold and have a good look at the water supply and see how much restriction im up against. I am very handy around car engines and can arrange to get a lend of a jcb to lift out the engine but im not that fimiliar with the outdrive side of things, is their much involved after i remove the cables, mounts electrical connections and pull the leg ??? there would appear tobe plenty of room and time is not an issue, i just want to recon my starter and maybe give the engine a good wash down and repaint the bottom to protect and freshen up. Im hoping to keep this boat until forever i suppose i would class the project as labour of love.
many thankyou's in advance and look forward to reading your replies
