Brent, I have had a Yanmar YSB12 for 15 years now, and one thing I have had to re-learn a few times is don't be too quick to dismiss the possibility of a cooling water supply issue. Just because you can see water coming out the exhaust does not mean that there is enough. The culprit in each case on my boat for white smoke was a partial blockage caused a bit of whatever that was sucked in and lodged somewhere. The addition of a raw water strainer narrowed down the possibilities, broken impeller bits notwithstanding, but I have since got chunks stuck in various places including in the strainer housing itself where it could not be seen. I would recommend a strainer oversized in hose diameter to prevent that last one from happening. Anyway, the bottom line is make really really sure there is lots of water flow before you fix something else.

The usual complaints, hard starting, ran well once it was going. I replaced the filter in the fall and my next move is to replace the old fuel and clean the tank. But judging from the white smoke in the exhaust I'm thinking the injector spray pattern is off and I'm getting some dripping. I'm planning to extract and clean it or replace it. Any tips from those who have done this would be appreciated. Brent Driedger 27-5 Wild Rover Lake Winnipeg.
