"Hi, My boat had been winteris

"Hi, My boat had been winterised and on hard standing for past 6 months. Fully drained the coolant system prior to winterisation. Boat has been re-launched and I set about getting it going. It stared fine but after a few seconds water started pouring out of the engine. It was difficult to see where from but I think it was from a plug on the block!!! or it could have been from the rear of the exhaust manifold. Any thoughts why this has occured or what it is. We had a pretty harsh winter here in the UK but I had thoroughly drained the coolant system. So I am a but stumped as to why this has happend. Any help would be appreciated Regards Nick"
 
Storing a raw water cooled eng

Storing a raw water cooled engine with drained/dry cooling system is to ask for trouble. It should always be filled with 50/50 anti freeze to both prevent scaling and left pockets of water.
