Running an Irwin 10/4 with a YSE8 diesel. Bought it last year and have been working on it all spring bringing it up to snuff.
Being new to a diesel inboard, how much cooling water should I see coming out the exhaust?
I did have it gone thru by a mechanic after a stalling incident during an all-day transport run thru the oswego and erie canals. Although it runs smoother now (new fuel pump, replaced some fuel lines) it definitely isn't flowing as much water as it was before. The engine seems to be running a bit hot - but I don't have a good basis for comparison to know how hot it should be running.
Not sure if the water is vaporizing in the exhaust. Exhaust is light grey to white. It's not dry, but it's not much more than a trickle - I was expecting at least healthy spurts...
Thanks!
