    if there is no wood in the stringers, you just need to remove the foam so in that case, use a 3" cup brush on the end of a drill extension, grind the foam up with a cup brush, and vac out with the shop vac.

    My boat sank, part II

    @kenny nunez , good point @nola mike , Pull the whole oildyne pump. Put on bench, take motor off pump, hose out with WD40 Easier than swapping a 470 for a V6 We can walk you thru flushing the tilt and trim lines snd cylinders

    Cold air intake

    No, and definitely NO CAIs increase intake noise, however do not really add any performance to the motor over simply changing your air filter every other oil change Additionally, the MAFS can be damaged by many oiled filters And do you really want to trust your $5000 engine air filtration to...

    3.0LX - Mercarb to Rochester ?

    rochesters havent been used on 3.0 since 1990 they re-designed the motor in 1991 while the carbs are similar, they are not the same I would simply keep your fuel system clean

    WHAT IS IT? Engine has no serial number plate. Either a Mercruiser 120 or 140

    your intake should fit unless the motor is a 1991 or later 3.0. then all sorts of things wont fit. in 1990 the 3.0 was re-designed for the 1991 model year. (they also dropped the 2.5)
