    1986 260 Mercruiser 5.7 Engine change to dry joint manifold & closed cooling

    Hi, I have a '86 Sundancer 300. I have to change all four manifolds and was thinking that it may be a good time to switch to a closed cooling system. The boat was in fresh water and will be used on the west coast in the ocean now. Has anyone done this with good success?

    Engine freeze plug replacement

    I'm glad I found it before putting the boat in at the marina. I will get a pro to have a look first. One engine is a "new" rebuild. The other needs some work. Best to take it one step at a time. Thanks for the input.
