Hello every body I am from Argentina and owner to a small old sailbaot with an inboard OMC Sail rive, I have the User Manual but it not help so much.
Engine work fine but I have the foloowing problem.

1)Overheat sound for a few second after 3 month witout use , I stopped and then run fine, I think the water circuit is not clean or not enought water from the water pump.
a)How can I clean the water circuit ?
b)How I could know if water pump run properly, water go out to the exhaust
but I don't know if it is the right quantity?

2)Engine run but the smoke is white I don't see water at the cylinder, any clue on this? may problem are related?

3)There is a maintenance manual available ?

Thanks
