"first, thanks to all for the help with the problems with this 3.7L. this motor is killing the wallet but i like the that little sucker. found my milky oil to be rot holes in the exhaust elbow, leaking raw water back into an open valve. someone here pointed me in this direction. it is all back together and seems fine on the muffs, will be putting in the water this affternoon and we will see how she goes. I am kinda new to this I/O thing but learned alot right here. So another question, exhaust shutters...are they needed or not? mine is gone and i was going to order one and replace it but was told i don't need it. i intend to water test the boat without it but just wondering if this is a bad idea. what do you all say?
thanks scott s"
