Title: 179 motor in old speedboat Post by: Sheriff on October 06, 2009, 11:41:31 AM Came across this on ebay. Someone may be interested in the motor and twin carbs. Says it has been reconditioned though a few years ago. Mike.

How or why do you water cool a sump? As said in the story.

After the water is collected at the pickup, it's sent through the cooling pipe in the sump before it reaches the manifolds. Not as effective as a remote oil cooler - but a lot cheaper. |
