    Is this hot spot normal on this exhaust manifold? This just looks like a problem. Also looks like something is leaking. Surveyor sent this to me. I think all 4 manifolds have this same spot.

    Fresh water system question.

    Should I expect the fresh water system to remain pressurized? So when I leave the boat and return the next day and turn on the fresh water pump it has to pump for 6-8 seconds to pressurize the system. I am not seeing water anywhere indicating a leak.
