I just did maintenance on my 1985 Evinrude 30hp. Put back together and today tried to start it . After few hours and changing bad spark-plugs finally started. But. 1. Smoke and little bit water started to come from the top of the lover engine cove (between engine and lover engine cover). 2. Water coming from exhaust but little bit smoke. I'm at the point of quitting. Please help. Any suggestions?

It was ok, but water pump wasn't working. When I changed it, I changed it with thermostat. Then It wasn't pumping anyway. So I changed Exhaust cover and Inner gaskets( They were leaking). I did maintenance on carburetor, changed exhaust cover gasket, exhaust cover inner, cylinder head gasket, water cover gasket, By-pass cover gasket, thermostat, Housing to cover seal, Power head to lower unit Gasket, New water pump, Gear case complete rebuild, and New Paint job every where. I guess that is it.

Not to be insulting or anything but with all the work you did I would go back and recheck it.
