I have a Mercruiser 260 MR (Chevy 350) engine hooked up to an Alpha 1 Gen one outdrive. The heat exchanger in back next to the transom and I would like to move it to the front of the engine. It will be much easier to check the water each time I go out. Has anyone done this? Good idea, bad idea? I hope to have the hoses in a neat fashion and not look like someone that didn't know what they were doing like I now have. I will be pulling the engine out this winter to clean, check, and paint it. I also will be able to do a good cleaning of the bilge area. The person that put the present engine in the boat also put some "pretty" (worthless) chromed valve covers on it and they will go for sure! They just aren't what one needs in the cool damp climate of S.E. Alaska.
Also, some photos of what it should look like afterwords would be great, or a place online that I may see some photos.
Thanks a bunch.
