Hi,

These pictures are of a 1990ish evinrude V6 Crossflow 175hp. I've been having some overheating problems so I decided to remove the exhaust cover and investigate. All looks pretty good except there is a hole in the upper left corner that was full of calcium. I cleaned it out and it appears to be a port to nowhere. Is this suppose to be a water port? Am I missing something? I tried to push compressed air in but there is an obious blockage or this is not a port. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is it pumping good water pressure?
did you check the thermostats?
Have you tried a salt-away treatment?
