Thanks Donald,

Geez, if I’m keeping the ol’ gal I have some time and money to spend, over and above what I was thinking hah! Its boating and I still love it! Especially here at anchor for the night about 50 miles south of Columbus, Mississippi, on a friends boat.

Thanks y’all

By the way, my hoses are still the original ones….I’ll be needing complete hose kits for each engine.
I’m guessing thats only the beginning

Thank you Tony, although I admittedly don’t know much about these engines I am fairly handy with a wench. Knowledge is what I seek and with that knowledge I will be better equipped to dive into the world if early production 250hp 6BTA5.9’s repair and maintenance. Is this early engine problematic? Do people not like them?
This was a fresh water boat for many years on Lake Ontario. In its later years it’s been in the salt but for only 5 or 6 months a year, then goes on the hard for winter.
I am an ol’ 4X4 truck collector, mostly Chevy.
Thanks,

Thank you Tony, I don’t think I have ever gone past 2200rpm
And don’t know if it will.

Thanks Rob, I had no idea.
The ol’ gal had low hours
when I bought her and I
haven’t done much, unfortunately

Rob, I had no idea my tank is flawed 🙂
