So I have a 21ft Marintine fishing boat!
It has a few problems, but what boat doesn't that was built 40 years ago!
It has a Mercedes om636 in it and it's blowing out of what appears to be the head... can feel exhaust gas being blown out on my hand and it's hot!! It's where the top meets the block.
It's also using water but I also think there is a leak from one of the pipes which won't be helping!!
My question is... this blowing out the side, is that the head gasket? Can't read that anywhere as a symptom! Help!
Also! Any ideas for a prop! This boat does 5knots with a 3knot tide! Driving me mad!
