Hi all,
New to the forum (and sailboats in general for that matter) so this may be a silly question, but any thoughts are greatly appreciated - I have an ericson 30+ and was out motoring around the other day and noticed that when I go above around 60% power (which we try not to do often) the exhaust pipe is sometimes fully submerged underwater, is this ok? It also gets very dark and sooty. There doesn't appear to be any oil in the water but it looks a little alarming, is this normal?
I believe the engine is an Atomic - 2 cylinder diesel, 16 horsepower and appears to run very well.
Thanks in advance,
-Justin
