In 2005 I overheated the port engine--450 hp 6v92--shutting down immediately upon hearing the alarm. No issues since cleaning the exchanger. About 500 hours later, I discover water in the oil. The mech tore down the engine and found both o-rings on the #2 cylinder had failed both in the same...

Last night i saw a water mark running down the port side of the V berth. I investigated and found the whole anchor locker soaking wet. Condensation was dripping off the ceiling of the locker. Also, the Fwd hatch has lots of condensation as well. My wife and I have been using the FWD shower...
