It’s creepy to think how you took that picture.Huh, he pretty much there now with his triple 300's Merc now ....
That would explain the O/B power. When my boat was I/B's it had shut-off valves on the through hull's feeding engine cooling, but a rusted-out exhaust can do the same thing. By the time he realized what was up it may have been too late to access any shut-off's.An engine water supply pipe perforated (rusted) and flooded the engine room. The boat almost sank before making to a haul out
I hope his maintenance detail improved on his next boatI took a guy out fishing who owned one that was just 5 years old..he was Canadian living in Cali...he had a vineyard and several known labels in our stores. He was crossing Georgia Strait with his kids and almost lost the boat. An engine water supply pipe perforated (rusted) and flooded the engine room. The boat almost sank before making to a haul out. He was fishing with me because he had no boat for the summer season waiting for insurance and the manufacturers to settle liabilities. Last I saw the boat was out on dry land in Canoe Cove's lot and then heard he sold it.
Hard to say on that, but it sounds like a thru-hull corroded which SHOULD'NT happen on a 5 year old boat; maybe the Marina or a near-by boat had electrical leakage issues. As author of a marine electrical book I have said that at a marina in Mexico all the galvanization in his anchor chain disappeared in a couple days.I hope his maintenance detail improved on his next boat
