6.2 V Drives Water Ingestion Problems

I am no expert on this, but I have heard that some of the bigger engines from Merc have experienced that problem in certain models boats. IE Sea Ray had a problem with big block 454s on 29 Amber Jacks that sucked water.

Be sure you have the boat surveyed by an very experienced surveyor of your choice. Ask around for good recommendations, if you don't have one already. Make sure you are getting fresh water cooled engines on boats that are used in salt water!

Good Luck In Your Choice of Boats,
