5.8 cobra
tested motor out with a hose when buying it seemed to fire up and run good no issues or stalling
went to water test it, put drain plug in, lowered into water, fired up nice no problems there, within 15 min, bilge engine compartment half way filled up with water, tried to determine if pumps was workin had them on, began to take alot of water in in the cab carpet soaked and about 4 inches ( pic included ) , belts in engine started kicking up water, motor stalled out, turned back on for a few seconds shut off again then flagged some 1 down for a tow, took back to house, shot air into the drain port, dirt came out, got the pump on and it pumped all the water out took about an hour or so
either way im taking it to a shop soon, just thought id post and see what you guys thought, owner said he changed the bellows and just had in the water a week ago, i didnt notice any over heating issues and the oil pressure was great on the gagues, i also need to get a dept finder has the factory one has been removed any suggestions ?
one of the bellows or rubber hoses DOES appear to be broken BADLY upon me looking at it but im not too familar with boats
