Elbows will be the only thing needing replacing. I have closed cooling, with heat exchanger. Closed system is actually the best way to go. a friend of mine loves to boat about year around that is when he can, and installed a heater core in the cuddy so he can duck inside and get warmed up. Plus, the automotive style engine can warm up to a toasty 180 degrees and run more effeciantly than thee usual 130 degree raw water system. My boat came with a Red Dot heater running off the engine coolant. |

I think the 4 stroke outboard has really taken a bite out of any advantage an I/O had. they are certainly a lot easier to work on you are standing up and not standing on your head with a flashlight and a mirror. No argument from me on that. I've had two I/O type boats and I'd never own another one again but the problems were not due to the bellows. Outboards on smaller boats ... (although a lot more costly) and inboards (diesel) with fixed props and rudders for the bigger ones. I am not really even sure outboards cost more since they seem to be lighter and you don't need as big a one. Price a new, 2016 250 hp Yamaha V6 and get back to us..., and don't forget to add in rigging. Motor weighs about 600 pounds. The discussion has been about Don's 17.5' boat. You reckon Greg is thinking 250hp for that boat? Don't you ever get sick of yourself? -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, and narcissists...not guns! |
