I am not a mechanic, I try to stick to boat repair only, but I have been running a 6 cylinder chev. Mercruiser in my houseboat with a cracked block for about 15 years without a problem. I have not heard anyone mention whether the crack was on the external wall of the water jacket or the internal wall. I would suppose that it is an external wall or we would not even need to discuss it since the block would be scrap. Mine probably has some kind of epoxy like someone already mentioned. V6's may be different but cracks in straight 6 cyl. are common. Just thought I would put my 2 cents in.
Oh, if anyone knows someone local that is familiar with marine v-drive and transmissions let me know. Thanks
