Hi,
I have a 1976 C&C 27 with a late model A4. The motor has rwc and been run in salt water most of her life. I launched her last month and the distributor disintegrated. I was able to remove the shaft from the block with torches and tapping. I replaced it with a new electronic ignition distributor.
Then the water jacket side plate blew out due to corrosion. So a bought another A4 for parts mostly. Replaced cover and brass drain. Engine runs sweet now but water flow was low. Removed thermostat and flow was good. Replaced impeller and did a test run. After 40 minutes the engine shut down due to overheating. Lots of steam. I’m stumped.
