I am new to I boats and this is my first thread so bare with me.
I have a 1980 Sea Ox sporting the same year Merc 470. It overheats frequently, and despite a few mechanics going through it, nothings changed. Ive heard a lot of bad things about this motor and need some direction. Is it worth it to keep chasing the problem? Or should I look into a new motor/outdrive package for it? I know you may think that's an expensive fix for an older boat, but it was my first and frankly, its hard to let her go
. Any help or advice on this is greatly appreciated.
