This was not disclosed before sea trial and lead to two very expensive scenarios of suggested fix by a local Yanmar engine specialist. The parts price escalated quickly, so even if you were a skilled mechanic - there's an unpleasant amount of dollars that need to be dropped. Squeaky clean to sodden with oil post sea trial - wish i'd got a photo of it after it had been running for the 30 minute ride, instead of just the first couple drips when discovered
