Ahoy Fellow sailors thanks in advance as I usually get great advice from this forum.
I just looked at a 2009 Hunter 49 that I’m interested in buying, engine hours are really low 289, broker said previous owner had engine replaced as water backed up from exhaust and ruined original engine, he said was replaced by Hunter as I guess was a known problem as exhaust loop was to low?
Anyone heard of this Hunter defect before?
Yanmar says engine currently in boat is a 2012 model .
Comments, suggestions or personal anecdotes welcome.
Thanks
Scotty Sailor
