    White Smoke

    Does anyone know how to resolve the "white smoke" issue from Yamaha Outboards that occur at start up? I know it might be temp related and the white smoke does go away after about one minute. Thanks

    Grady 268 Islander 1999

    Does anyone know if there is a shutoff for the sink drain in the head? I had someone winterize the boat and now after water in the sink it will not drain and can't find a place where a shutoff would exist for that sink drain? Thanks
