    Mercruiser 3.0 Alpha One Gen 2 Barrel

    Stinnett, Your bang on was going to use the big blue water jugs from like on top of a water cooled to bring water to the boat for testing. Issue is with a pump how many gph or litres would I need to ensure it's safe for my engine.

    Mercruiser 3.0 L Alpha One

    Just bought the boat, was put once and there was a water leak from back of engine. Wasn't alot but still a leak. I winterized it this year with pulling the two drain plugs and then flushing with antifreeze through the hoses from the thermostat connection and also the water inlet hose.
