brought a1985 Pearson sailboat, with a yanmar 22 hp, I had a diesel mechanic change theoil and all the filters, she had a slight leak on the water pump, the mechanicsaid that for a 24 hour trip the enginewould be ok but plan on replacing the water in the near future. While bringing her home to the Tampaarea from Marco Island the engine quit after 16 hours. The exhaust made abelching sound with a little white smoke.
I attempted to start it 8 or 9 times; it would turn over but not start.
Made sure there was fuel in the tank and even bled the fuel line with thefinger pump on the engine, could not get any fuel. I checked the dips tick and the oil was ok nowater, I hope I did not damage theengine due to leaving the thru hole open on the water intake. Anyone have anyideas, Thanks John
