Durbans pionts to look out for when buying a 1970 ties 70hp

[durban]

note the holes . careful you don't end up with this , i fix the holes with my epoxy formula , the holes in the exhaust box is the ones to be careful off , your motor will still be pissing water out the **** hole , at the same time you are loosing water through the exhaust . THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS THE GASKET FACES ON THE MAIN BLOCK IF THE MOTOR HAS BEEN USED IN SALT WATER MOST OF ITS LIFE ,THE GREY ARES WILL SHOW THE CORROSION

over the weekend i found another exhaust housing adapter with a hole in this is a common problem if used in sea water , i recommend you paint this area with epoxy i have found about 5 all in all , i fix them up using my special epoxy formula with fiber glass cloth, do it on the inside & outside
