what else to replace???
In another thread I posted that I pulled a 496 with approximately 375 hours. Im having the long block rebuilt. My question: is there anything else I should consider changing while I have access to everything? I hate to drop her back in and not replace a worn paart or two that arent easy to get to!!

x3 on the bilge pump. mine is right under my pan. also, clean the hell out of the bildge. you dont want any fallen zip ties or just stuff that falls down into the bilge to clof the new pump. plus it looks really nice when it is all clean.

I would replace the belows, raw water hose through the transom assy, consider changing the shift cable and both the trim sender and trim limit switch. These jobs are a PITA at any other time.
Check the gimbal bearings for play.
Also look at the condition of the bilge pump hoses.
