We did not realize that you have to be willing to learn some basic mechanics to own an older sailboat with any inboard engine.

I truly hope the mechanic joins us and Gem can follow along to learn at the little things, the one small step at a time things that lead to a solution.
Not knowing any details of course, if what gem said about the engine running well in the shop during a winter working on it and if nothing changed, then the ancillary aspects would become paramount focus to check in the scheme of things, no? |

Since we know nothing of this engine I think the very first thing to be done is a cooling system pressure test. We may as well know we have a viable block and manifold before spending a second or a dime on it.
