    Mercruiser 3.7 /470 1984

    I have a 1984 Century 3000 Cuddy with the always interesting 470 powering it. This year upon de-winterizing it and starting it i noticed it was filling the overflow bottle and it's not looking like coolant, it's very clear and watery, at idle only this seems to occur, at 1500 rpm's it no longer...

    1984 Century 3000

    So this week I will pick up my "New to me" 1984 3000. I don't think I have ever searched the web so much and come up with so little for a boat model.

However when i go to the service manual (#10) the i.d.'s for that engine start at 6852270 and go up to 0A484072. Aren't these number in sequential order going up from 685? or am i...
