I have a mercruiser stern drive and I'd like to add a freshwater cooling system. Is this doable by an average DIYer? I would guess I'm mechanically decent/average. Do all my maintenance now, comfortable with cars, have rebuilt a few outboard engines, etc. But I also don't understand electrical...
Just wondering if that's allowed on a temporary basis? My trailer is out of commission for about a week and I can save ~$200 by bringing it into the shop without the boat on it. I live near a river, can I just anchor the boat out in the river and tie one end to a tree and keep it on the water...
