This is going to be one of my winter projects. The exhaust is leaking. I guess it's a pin hole in the weld. Looking at the crappy job here, it doesn't surprise me. I noticed that the engine sounded a little different a month back. This is a bit of a learning curve. I have to find out where you get this high heat wrap and I plan on pulling the manifold off which means getting a new gasket. All this ugly will finally be gone. I have two speakers to mount in the cockpit and some little jobs such as converting all the lights to LED. I think back to my power boats and all the problems that I had, I think Sailors complain to much! The little diesel always starts and the boat always gets me where I am going and home again. It's a little like a sports car from England. You have to open the hood once in a while and nose around. (The exhaust for example) but more often than not, you find little or nothing wrong. A power boat with all that bashing through the waves constantly develops problems (VERY EXPENSIVE ONES!!!). Yeah, I don't go fast, but I always get there.
