Hi all,
I had a bunch of new people on my boat today and what with one thing and another, forgot to open the raw water intake, till there was smoke in the engine compartment. I'm embarrassed and humbly accept your scorn.
In any case, I opened seacock and idled it for a while. No obvious crisis. It started and ran fine a few hours later. My question - what gets damaged in such an overheating scenario? I'm RWC and I have no idea how long its been since its been flushed. certainly over 10 years.
thx!
