I haven't fished on a 470 powered boat in many years but recall the alternator and heat exchanger being weak points. Other than that, I thought they were fine running engines with decent performance and mileage. My buddies that ran them switched the crank snout mounted alternator to an external model and one increased the heat exchanger size to keep the motor cool.
