Hey Guys.....
I bought a 79 Searay that I like with a frozen 6 cyl 165hp mercruiser that had water in the oil and I could not break loose. I'm have trouble finding a used replacement for it (I am on a tight budget). There are several 470's available locally, I even have one that has a cracked block, an '82 with a good gimbal assembly and outdrive and all other components (including a good 4" heat exchanger).
Wondering if anyone can tell me what kinda challenge this would be ?
Would the gimbal housings and assembly match ?
Could I install an entire 470 with it's Gimball housing and outdrive without having to modify the cutout in the transom?
I'd appreciate any advice before starting this project. Thanks !
