... I ended up purchasing a complete engine with all the accessories for $750.00 locally. Has 50 hrs on it. :)
... Well here are a few shots of the exhaust manifolds and risers... Don't look to good.:eek: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Well i pulled the entire engine apart... The manifolds and risers are completely covered in rust on the inside from top to bottom. Heavy scale...
I guess a good start would be to remove the risers and check them first...
So basically I'd be better off finding a engine no newer than 91 so it has the pump hole in the block... Have you seen anything common that...
Thats not what I was sayin', kinda worded it wrong... sorry. I have a complete 4.3 merc that is in the boat right now. It is a carburated model...
just wanted to make sure the intake would match up from either model. Also I guess I would have to run an electric pump?
... If I decide to go this way should I look for a vortech or non vortech? Difference between them??
First time poster and first time boat owner.:) Purchased a 1990 Wellcraft 186 with a 4.3 v6 merc. The engine took on water some how and is...
