Re: Bilge

about time to be checking for structural damage from over 2 1/2 years of an unrepaired leak. Although with "exhaust steam from overheating" there may be larger issues.

Have you even tried one of the best suggestions so far: launch without running the engine and see what happens? (yes, you can.)

Have you tried putting water in it while it's on the trailer (plug in; I shouldn't have to say that but....) and see where it comes out?

Think it may be about time to reveal what kind of boat you have, or do you prefer to remain a mystery enshrouded in an enigma?

2 1/2 years of leaking?
Maybe its time for stringers and a transom.

The confusion is you started this thread 2 1/2 years ago and you had an exhaust steam/leak. Then in July of THIS year you asked about a different leak. Next time start a new thread...

Re: Bilge

My bet is its over flow from a cooler.

Re: Bilge

no i had no cooler with me but im suspecting it from the raw water inlet wright above the heat exchanger where there to big hose clamp. 1982 mercruiser 4 cylinder 470 motor. im guessing but i will find out later on the weak. any more advice where should i look i appreciated.

Re: Bilge

I was thinking the same thing....lol

Umm, am I the only one who has noticed that this thread is 2 and a half years old? Did it take the OP THAT long to decide to fix his leak? :facepalm:
