Check your bolts and gasket on exhaust manifolds
Posted: Mon May 20, 2013 3:58 pm
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
Bolts were rusted in the holes . Still have cpl broken ones to take out . Lots of wd40 and let it soak
Starboard side wasnt leaking but decided to change it after seeing shape the other one is in .
