Hi guys, Thinking of buying a boat with a 2005 merc v8 5.0L 220hp mpi with alpha 1 gen 1. Engine only has 36hrs and outdrive is 1988 origonal. This will be the first engine i have that is raw water cooled only and my concern is when i come back from sea, salt water, the engine is flushed by the river at my mooring, fresh water, is there a danger of freezing water in the block as the boat is in commission thoughout the winter. If so how can this be avoided?
Any help much appreciated
