I have a 1972 bayliner with volvo aq170 in line six. It runs hot when doing 28 mph. When I shut it off it is very hard to start. There is not much flow out the cooling output. The manuel indicates water runs out through the exhaust and should re direct to the cooling output when it reaches running temp. I never seem to get much flow from the cooling output though.
I was thinking of adding an electronic ignition to make starting easier, but obviously I also need to figure out the overheating.Any suggestions?
