Hello, I am a new owner of a 1969 Cal 29 with an Atomic 4. This is a fresh water boat on Lake Michigan. After winter storage, I fired up the engine and noticed a large amount of water coming out the top of it. Turns out there is a non-threaded hole on the top of the engine, starboard side towards the back. Looks like the hole was braised shut with a small bronze disc about the size of a silver dollar and it came off when I started the engine (thank goodness I found it).
Does anyone know how I go about fixing this? Seems really odd that this somewhat crucial port would be sealed up in such a simple manor. Am I missing something?
UPDATE: I found a photo that shows this part and am attaching it.
UPDATE 2: changed the title of post so it’s easier to find when searching for this issue
