Just prepping to cross North Sea from Stavanger back to Plymouth and found some salt water in the bilge. Quite a lot of it. Then found the large connector manifold which the main engine exhaust attaches to has got a small hole in it spewing out seawater when the engine is running. Currently the hole is only about 3mm but I imagine it could get significantly larger. Photo below showing water streaming out when engine is on.
Is there a temporary fix that could be done in situ using some kind of weld putty?
To be fair I think it is best to get it off and sorted but with time limitations and Norway prices I'm hesitant.
