    1967 Merc 60 cooling system keeps clogging.

    Thanks a bunch! Didn't know the exploded view was publicly available. I might take the exhaust cover off to clean inside there as well, as I was told by the previous owner that this motor was used almost exclusively at idle speeds and I imagine there's a fair bit of soot in there.
