Here, let me fix that for you:

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.
