We ran our first race of the season tonight. I have not run the results yet but it appears as though we placed second out of about 10 boats behind a Sabre 38,
When I first started the motor, Kathy smelled something burning. It was actually antifreeze. I checked the engine and there was a small amount of steam coming up from around the rear end of the manifold where it connects to the exhaust riser. It was also wet underneath that section. Is this common on a 20 year old M25? Does anyone know where the leak is likely coming from? I was pressed for time to make the start of the race so I did not have a chance to really get into finding the leak. We did motor for about 10 minutes with no problems in the cooling system.
