I grabbed a screenshot to help explain. The left brass part is a plug. That fits into the exhaust manifold. The piece on the right has a hole, but when it's screwed into the block enough, water stops pouring out. I had them reversed. So the plug would never seat properly and the other would...
I'm really embarrassed but since I started this thread I'll post my stupid error. My exhaust manifold plugs were leaking. I couldn't figure out why. I swapped the plug with the manifold plug that has a hole in it and that solved my issues. I swear I tried swapping them before but gave up too...
Yes! Took it to a boat mechanic. Got one at Napa
thank you. manual says 22 lbs. there is no way I can get my torque wrench in there. someone else posted hand tight, then quarter turn.

I'm 57 and not a mechanic. I can only go 5mph max in a 14' Smoker craft. While in idle, I can pull the spark plug wire from the bottom and it runs the same. My bottom cylinder is not firing. I swapped the sp wires by only disconnecting them from the spark plugs, then swapping. I was hoping the...
