So heres how the story goes, I recently purchased an older Checkmate Ski boat that is a inboard outboard. I ran over to the lake yesterday to fire it up and get some water running through it. Well after running it for about 3 minutes, I turned it off and heard water dripping in the bilge. So I pulled the engine cover off and looked down underneath the engine to see water dripping from the front body mount. Well clearly water wouldnt leak from the body mount, however being new to marine engines I dont know how exactly the cooling system works or where the leak could be coming from. I have a Mercruiser 260 Sterndrive, and other than this leak it is running phenomenally for its age. I saw that Cat Boat does some work over near Real Island, which would be great considering I can see Real Island Marina from the house where the boat is stored, but I dont know if he would do little service work like this. If any body knows where the leak could be coming from or where I could get good fair service work done around Real Island area, please let me know. Thanks
