Hi! I have a 1980 Searay 195. I am in the process of rebuilding it and am getting to removing the existing engine. While disconnecting all the hoses and cables, I noticed that there was a long rusty crack just above the oil pan. So after doing some research online, I notices that people suggest replacing the 305 on the merc898 with a 350, and I have a few questions:
-Can I use any of the existing components from the 305, such as starter, fuel/water separator, and water pump?
-should I stick with a 305 to make things easier?
-will putting a 305 require me to change anything in the mercruser such a gearing?
Thanks,
Sebastian
