hey guys,
firstly for any help i get i thankyou all now.
i have the above motor i have just spent australian $1600 getting it fixed at the local shop to find its still not ready. im running out of cash fast.. i have the boat and motor back home now with overheating as the last problem. i have new head gaskets, been told good compression. motor runs fine starts everytime just takes 3 to 5 mins under idle and it gets hot. he told me to drop the leg put silicone around the copper pipe inside the leg and that should be it. something about the water not getting up or around the top of the motor. or not enough water circulating. does anyone agree with that or have any other ideas that i could try before i go back and save more money for the boat shop.
once again cheers for any help.
