    Mercruiser 8.2. oil in exhaust

    find the leak. if oil is leaking out, water is leaking in. potential leak spots that will get into the water stream and ultimately into the exhaust stream are Power Steering cooler and oil cooler drive oil would not mix with the exhaust. however leak externally. maybe a prop shaft leak.

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    doing the transom from the outside is harder than the inside you are only a few hours of work away from just replacing with wood or Coosa, etc. did you check your stringers? normally they rot at same time as the transom.

    Thermostat should last decades. What makes you think you have a thermostat issue? If you are overheating, check the raw water pump or the heat exchanger Throttle body needs to come off to access the thermostat housing
