Does water come out of the exhaust

[midtower]

Update: 9/15/2005

Took my boat to another shop. The mechanic discovered the pipe in the stern was not installed right causing water to enter my engine through my exhaust destroying it. He rebuilt my engine and I had a new carburator put in because of water damage, new intake manifold, water pump, impeller, exhaust manifolds, risers, runs like a jewel now. Hope this helps someone else, like those that have help me on this forum. I sent a letter to the other shop demanding payment for shoddy work on my stern/boat. Let's see what happens? Again, thanks to all that have helped me on this forum.

Well, looks like it's time for a round of Fun With Lawyers!
If the shop that screwed up your motor in the first place isn't eager to co-operate, you would do well to get your new mechanic's written opinion and file against the bad shop in small-claims court. I think you'd have a pretty solid case.
Glad to hear the boat's working.

Yep, the mechanic signed the worked order stating he discovered the problem. I sent the shop that worked on my boat a letter of demand for payment. Waiting for response. I really don't like doing it, but I tried to tell them the problem is not in the engine and they wouldn't listen to me. They kept telling me it was a cracked head or block or intake manifold. They took my stern apart and put it back together wrong. I found out the young mechanic who put it back together, just got out of Boat Mechanic School. Kinda of feel bad for him. Like I said, they wouldn't listen or even take the time to check it out.

Thanks Matt for all your support and advice. Maybe this will help someone, like I have been helped. It amazing how good it feels when someone gives a helping hand. Real good feeling.
