fresh water cooling

[ecamiel]

Hi

I just bought a 1990 Formula 242 with a Bravo 1 sterndrive and what I am told is a high performance, rebuilt Mercriuser 502. modified to produce 450+ HP.

I would like to convert to Fresh water closed full system cooling

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks
Eric

Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,...

Freshwater cooling can be added to most all motors,...
search up San Jaun Engineering...

Howdy,


I installed a San Jaun kit on my 97 454/Bravo installation in 2006. I got the kit from http://www.oceaneastmarine.com/ and it was shipped directly from San Jaun Engr.

If was fairly easy to install (I had the engine on a stand) and works well.

There could be a problem if you have a rusty block & manifolds........ (or they have more than about 100 salt water hours on them)


Cheers,


Rick
