Just wondering if anyone has tried to us any of those products. I picked up a 1973 SlickCraft ST185 for $500 bucks and the only issue is a blown head gasket or cracked block. I fully intend to do a rebuild/swap in the winter, but I want to see if I can make it through the summer useing the sealant stuff.

Nope. Closed loop cooling? Raw water cooled? Hard to keep the stuff in the block long enough to do anything if its all running out the back!

I thought abought using a catch tub and using the muffs with a short hose in the catch tub. I am not sure if the impellor will create enough suction.
