I have a 99 215 EC with 155 hours. Merc 5.0 with 2bbl Mercarb. Bought as a project 4 yrs ago. Replaced/rebuilt everything in the fuel system 3 yrs ago. New fuel pump, rebuilt carb, removed and cleaned tank, new check valve. Did full tune up 2 yrs ago. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, timing. Had it in...

Thanks, Cliff. I will send Dennis a PM. I have cut out more of the area. Still haven't gotten to it all. A few inches away from that divider wall to the anchor box, it turns into plywood, which is also soaked. I don't see how I would get anything in that area out without cutting that divider...

I'm new. About to purchase a 215 Express 1999 with the 5.0. It is a project boat and the block is cracked. My question is, I happen to have a 1984 Trans Am in my garage with the 305 5.0, perfectly good. I intended to remove that engine for an LS1 down the road anyway so I don't need it. Can I...
