Hey everyone I bought a 1990 Bayliner capri it came with a1984/ 70HP Johnson, the only thing is the motor has an issue. The previous owner was out with his kids tubing and the motor blew a small hole. It looks like the cooling jacket could be cracked. The previous owner said that the motor still runs but overheats quickly, and there is no water coming through the pee-hole. I am guessing the water pump was bad and he didn't see it while running the motor and thats why the hole blew. Can I get by with patching the hole and replacing the water pump? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I bought the boat, w/ trailer fish finder, battery, fuel can, for only $300.00 the guy was a rich dude and didn't want to stick money into it.
ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE HOLE THE GUY PUT JD WELD OVER IT, IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER TO PATCH THE HOLE WITH?
