Hello - Upon five (5) minutes after initial start up It looks like steam coming from starboard side exhaust. (Actually quite a bit of what appears to be steam is visible.) Engine temperature reads around 185 - 200 F. It appears ample water is flowing from both exhaust.
Any thoughts what could be the root cause of this dilemma? Otherwise this is a strong running engine with approximately 150 hours since a complete rebuild.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You probably have old broken off impeller fingers or rust partially blocking the flow somewhere.
Which model engine do you have?
