Default Stellings condensation??








Stellings question...

50 degrees outside, cold water from house hose... can you see condensation to the point of wet tubes? These stellings never had issues before, no salt water, and ran fine when parked 4 years ago then drained out, ran boat in December to test things but didn’t look much at tails, I thought I saw some damp but could not find any issues it seemed but didn’t pressure test them, fast forward to yesterday, Fired engines, I see wet in ALL 4 tails, so I figured I had issues, pulled all 4 headers tonight and so far they check fine, I will do tails tomorrow but I don’t see anything standing out as of yet, but will check anyway.

Talked to a buddy of mine and he thinks it’s condensation... seems logical... anyone else up north ever check this?? Odd that all 4 at same time got an issue? Doubt it.... I hope lol

after thinking linger about it inrecall seeing the same thing inside my stainless marine this time of year, so did I worry for nothing? Rather be safe I guess lol
