A neighbor is selling his 1978 20' marlin in excellent shape....I believe
cosmetically and operational. He wants $4200 with trailer and equipment.
MY QUESTION....it is a 470/3.7/190 with 500 hours. It has the alternator
conversion and outdrive rebuild 2 years ago. I read that the circulation
pump with the two seals on camshaft can be a problem and expensive
repair. No apparent leaks at timing chain cover weep hole. IS THIS
a major issue and costly repair?> Any other known issues. I need to
let him know by Friday. Thanks for your help.....Don
