Cruisers resin does have a reddish tint

An object in motion wants to stay in motion Have seen too many loads tip not to be cautious. And no, I do not recommend a 3 motor cart with wheels

As long as it doesn't move. Once it moves (wheels), you have to take velocity and mass into it to see if coming to an instant stop topples it over (tipping moments) Having 1500# of motor and rack moving will require a much wider base to ensure it doesn't tip as compared to a static rack No...

Maybe use a wire cup brush in the angle grinder to get in the crevices

Oooh....pit wood.....time for a bonfire

All PS coolers are is glorified plumbing parts. It's soldered together. Unsolder the end bells, repair the tube sheet to shell joint or the tube sheet to tube joint. Re-solder the end bells, pressure test, paint black No difference from repairing a brass radiator

No, only one oil side.

The Volvo Penta water pump conversion is common. Normally the hoses to the exhaust are 3/4" or 1" Agree I. Posting a pic

easy to pressure test the cooler. they are easy to repair too

with an 80 gallon tank, we are not taking the boat out as much as we would like, considering the average boating trip is 40-50 miles round trip

suggest draining prior to using the block-buster kits. Volvo Pentas only close cool the block and heads, not the intake. so unless you sample what is in the manifolds and hoses with a refractometer to ensure a -40F protection, you can still freeze Power steering cooler is between teh pickup...

Ted, you still have grinding to do. you are not completely thru the gel yet

yes, the Q7 did come with the 6.2 as an option. most of the motors were the 50 MPI engine, and some received the entry level 4.3 however the OP asked if it was possible to go to a 5.0 from a 4.3, and if the boat could handle it....... and hasnt been back so I am betting they dont turn...

the core plugs will hold 50 psi without issue. you can not generate enough pressure for that to ever happen if the block is in good shape corrosion is the most likely culprit. that is your block eating itself from the inside on a raw-water cooled motor. did you flush the motor after...

with wheels, the rack has to be big enough in both directions to keep the load from falling over when you move it and hit a crack, or a pebble, or a change in elevation. if this is for storage, use the cherry picker, pick the motor up and move it over to the rack.

Chances are low it's the drive plate, inspect as needed Check the PDS bearings

You can call it a splined thingy if it helps. A drive plate=damper=glorified clutch disc without friction material

thats your drive coupling that is bolted to the flywheel

should be easy. however the boat is nearly 21 feet long. go with a 5.7 if you are sticking to Gen 1 SBC motor over the 5.0 @Scott06 did a similar swap with his boat.

AAA is an opt-in for most towing companies. they only get $35 per tow. so they are not really motivated.....
