Saving Old Seagulls

I will have a look at what I have and get back to you.

I had to stop the engine and a bit of smoke came out the water exit... I removed the engine from the boat, blew some air in the water system, then it was better for a while and then it gradually reduced again... any idea? It could be a bit of rust the has come free inside the block. Or if the water...
