Check your bolts and gasket on exhaust manifolds

Post by gordd »

At start up did have a small leak at port side exhaust manifold above impeller/water pump . gasket was cracked but plate was so corroded was leaking when went to take it of it just snapped. I chalk it up for fun of having old boat. Glad caught it on dry land though and not on water somewhere
