New to the forum. Have a sailing boat with a Volvo Penta engine.
Since this year I hae a rather nasty cool water problem. After sailing it takes about 6 minutes before the comes out of the exhaust. If I have been motoring and start the engine next day, than there is no problem at all. The motor is a MD2020d, Volvo Penta.
What have I done so far?
- replaced the impeller.
- checked the holes in the saildrive where the water gets in
- replaced the o-ring of the water filter (strainer) cover between the inlet and water pump
- made the cover of the water pump house flat again
- replaced the paper between the cover and the water pump house
- cleaned the siphon between the pump and the heat exchanger
Anyone who has a suggestion or solution, that would be highly appreciated.
