    Mercruiser V8 Power Steering cooler

    I need some ideas on how long I could safely run the motor without the cooler in service. I removed the ps hoses and some other things to make a repair on a cracked water jacket on the block (port side.) When replacing everything I must have bent the brass hose connection and it leaked bad. In...
