I like your suggestion. Now I recall last summer the exhaust was belching out a
lot of carbon into the water when the throttle was goosed. You may be onto
something. Ok. Exhaust elbow disassembly is moving closer to the top of the
list.
Thanks.

Brent,
If you or the previous owner ran the engine at low rpms frequently, then
mix elbow pluggage is more likely. Diesels, and Yanmars in particular,
like high rpm and heavy loads.
First thing to try is to disconnect the water discharge hose that connects
to the mix elbow. With the engine cold
Thanks for the suggestion on the mixing elbow. That's my next item on the list
after the injector. I've read that Yanmar had some very big mixing elbow issues
with some falling apart inside from broken welds and pitted stainless steel
issues.
I'm not sure if there's a t-stat. I've never been ab
We’ve already determined that Brent has a raw water cooled engine, so there is

Normally there is a bypass arrangement in the thermostat housing that allows a

800gph seems plenty. It will rid your bilge of pesky water seepage in no
time. If you have a serious hull breach, a much larger pump will be
required,

I need to replace the automatic electric bilge pump. Currently the boat has a

I have a 27-III. We lined the icebox with aluminized bubble wrap (like what's
around some hot water heaters). It added a day or more to ice life. Don't
forget to do the lid!

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
I would not recommend that, as the uneven heating of the head and block
could do a lot of damage before you could ascertain whether there was white
smoke or steam coming out. Carefully watching the coolant level is the
safest thing to do.

While not good for the raw water impeller, could a test be carried out where a
cold engine is started without a raw water feed for a couple of minutes. If
theres a coolant leak in the cylinder the smoke should disappear. Just thinking
outside the box.

My question is primarily directed at the 38-2 owners on the list, but might
also be appropriate for owners of other mid 70s boats.
Have you added insulation around the ice box on your boat, and how?
Deconstructing the cabinets, counter, and dish storage cabinet aft of the
ice box is way mor
In the general sense, probably not. In this case, where the leak is
suspected to be between the cylinder and the coolant passages, it might
show the problem. But a leak between a coolant passage and and an oil
passage, (for example) would not show up on a compression test.

Hello all, I saw one tip on replacing horizontal oil and fuel filters that works for me. Loosen it so that it will just turn by hand. Punch a hole in the top side of the filter. Then turn it so that it starts to drain into a cup. You may need to punch another hole on the opposite side to
