1983 Formula 25 SC Express, Merc 260. Just got new logs, elbows, rebuilt motor (GM350LAFHOT), alternator, water pump, shift cable, ect.
Question #1 The dipstick hole is on the port side vs the old starboard side and I can't seem to find one ( tube and dipstick), any suggestions?
Question #2 Since all this has been replaced could I / should I attempt to convert this salt water boat to a closed cooling system? Where do I start to figure out how to do that?
My wife and I were talking and asked if closed water cooling was possible why wouldn't every one do it...
Don't know how
To expensive
Not enough room
Just not possible
Being that this motor has never seen salt water, I would think this is the time if ever to convert.
