exh. white smoke

White smoke in the exh. usually indicateds a water leak into the combustion chamber.
Best do a pressure test on the cooling system, this will let you know if you do have a leak in the system.
Also if you have been adding water to the system as of late this is also a good indication of a leak.

nav/anchor light

Minnetonka

I have a F-26 Trojan an the anchor light on my boat is hinged an will fold down, thus giving you an extra 15"s of clearance.
I believe this is original equipment so you might be able to buy one at Beacon Marine.

Sounds like a good system an if it works then one can remove the black tank and in the F-26 there is a lot of usable space there. www. natureshead.net...
