have the new merlin x aluminum bbc block and would like to marinize or coat the water jackets to keep from corroding . For fresh water use only, but need to know who can do this for me.

There are issues with running (sea) water through/around cast aluminum IF your water has a negative ion charge, as in if its used to cool a nuclear power plant, or something along those lines.
I've been there, not with boats, but with hi-po PWC parts.
Just an FYI.
The negative ion charge will break apart the cast aluminum at the atom/electron level.
