Re: New Carver owner!
Have you looked around the engine while the engine is running? Often times some leaks will only present themselves that way.

You can also tape paper to different places on the hull to see if water is running from someplace else and ending up below the engine.
Could be a lot of things. Do you have a strainer? Could be seals around the cap. Could be seals on either of the water pumps. Is this freshwater or raw water cooled?

Re: New Carver owner!
For the engine?! If it's a sterndrive, the odds of having a strainer for the engine is extremely low and then only in some rare Bravo installations. All strainers are suspect though and should be checked. There are a few areas of concern with sterndrives as far as leaks are concerned. If you can look under the engine and see the transom under the transom assembly plate, look for signs of leaks be it an actual stream of water or a running stain on the transom coming from the transom assembly inner plate. If you see signs of a leak, let us know and we can guide you further from there. Again, you should be checking for engine leaks with the engine running. Just be careful not to get caught by any moving hardware.srada1965 wrote:Source of the post.....I do have a strainer......
