If the engine exhaust is actually emitting steam, this may be due to insufficient exhaust water being discharged through the system. Check the raw water strainer for obstructions. Also, the exhaust elbow may be clogged, restricting raw water flow. *Joe DeMers - owner* Sound Marine Diesel LLC SoundMarineDiesel.com <http://www.soundmarinediesel.com/>*phone & fax (860) 666-2184* On 11/3/2014 8:33 PM, Bruce Bygate b.… [at] verizon.net [Cal_Boats] wrote: > > > > > > Begin forwarded message: > >> *From:* Bruce Bygate <b.… [at] verizon.net <mailto:b.… [at] verizon.net>> >> *Date:* November 3, 2014 at 7:55:39 PM EST >> *To:* "Cal_Boats@yahoogroups. com" <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com >> <mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com>> >> *Subject:* *Exhaust white smoke* >> >> I have an 88 hunt designed cal 28 with a rebuilt westerbeke 13a diesel. >> >> The engine has run fine since the rebuild about 80 hours ago.
