Richard and/or Eddie:
I'm doing some spring maintenance an decided to check the air bleed line as you have suggested. It was clear, but in the process of disconnecting it I broke the brass connector on the hose that attaches to the thermostat. Any ideas on where to get a replacement? Is it a standard type of fitting, or would I need to get it custom made?

Thanks,

Marlon

Just replace the hose with a short section of 5/16" copper tube. Use brass compression fittings with 1/8" pipe thread. You can find them at any hardware store. Don't turn it into a big deal. You did not explain if you checked if the fittings into the thermostat and head were clear. Often the blockage is in those fittings.

Richard:

Thanks for the information. I did check the fittings, and they are clear too. While I'm at the boat today, I'll check the serial no. and get that to you.

Thanks,

Marlon

I'm still looking for the replacement parts, but I have faith. My engine serial no. is 707005 and the symbol above that looks to be an A over an M.

Marlon,
Is that number cast into the motor?

Yes, it's cast into the motor just left of the flywheel.

That's a mold number. The serial number is impression stamped onto a thin sheet metal ID tag which should be on the exaust manifold. Mine was 5 didgets a dash and then 2 didgets. The last 2 didgets seem to be the year manufactured.
