Re: Engine smoking

Thanks guys.
The engine is a Yamaha V8j 5.7
The engine was filled with smoke, not steam. It looks like the water is not circulating at all. I put the rabbit ears on, turned the water on, and ran the boat. It ran maybe 4-5 minutes and I could start to smell the hose burning. There is no kncoking in the engine so I think the cylinders are o.k.
I kinda think its the water pump, or the manifolds.
The motor is an inboard so its hard to get to everything. I tried calling diffrent places, but a lot of these places do not work on this type of boat.

thanks for your help once again
Gabe
