I did a minor overhaul on my boat. Cleaned interior passages, replaced exhaust gaskets, Painted engine and exhaust, replaced all hose clamps, installed Riva Racing ribbon delete, installed second bilge pump in aft bilge, replaced small hose clamps with plastic ones, painted oil cooler, replaced drain hoses, replaced thermostat with metered hole.

This is how the engine compartment looks now.

good job!

where are you at ? what type of water do you normally boat in? do you normally flush the engines after use?

What did you do to "clean the interior passages" ?

I live in Saint Marys GA. I boat from St. Simmons island all the way to the St. Johns river in Florida. The water here is brackish. I resently bought this boat used and it needed some TLC. I use Hammer head descaling or even radiator flush to clean the engine. I flush with clean fresh water for ten minutes per engine after each use. I installed an inline replaceable zinc for each engine. I had to mechanically and chemically clean the passages.
