Yes. By "fresh water cooled" I mean my Atomic 4 has a closed loop cooling system with a heat exchanger circulating a mixture of water and antifreeze (just like a car). It then goes through a heat exchanger that dissipates the engine heat into seawater that's pumped into the exchanger. I

If his mast is anything like the one in my 35 MKII, lots of thickness to drill and tap, that's the way to go and since it's likely a permanent install drill tap and use bolts, 1/4 20 stainless, 3/4 inch long should do fine Dwight Veinot C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS

You need antifreeze for winter storage in climates which freeze. Plumbing antifreeze is fine as it's biodegradable. -Original Message- From: "Joseph Bognar via CnC-List" Sent: ‎2016-‎01-‎30 2:18 PM To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" Cc: "Joseph

Thanks very much. Yes it's a fresh water-cooled A4. Joseph, I am going to check the sump near the mast step too, but based on where it's pooling I think it's coming from the bilge just forward of the motor under the cabin sole - the hardest spot to reach. John, if that turns out not to be

You could also try arranging some white paper towels on a cookie sheet or bits of plywood under the engine. Pumps are a particular candidate for suspicion in my opinion, especially when temperature changes appear to be a factor. Steve Thomas C Merritt Island, FL Ryan Doyle via CnC-List
