So glad the problem with Tommy J was not so serious. So many of the Arvors fitted wth the Mercruiser engines had the cylinder heads fail. Apparently they were the same heads that were fitted to the old landrover discoveries that also had the same problem! Arvor then changed to a different engine supplier! Where did the water go from the damaged water pump? Into the bilge and then pumped out? My Arvor had warning lights indicating when the automatic bilge pumps kicked in and out...

Yes Dave (Evans) - it was an Arvor 250 I told him that it was most likely the cylinder head was cracked as it is a known fault with that model and that engine! I suggested he speak to you and also to get the head pressure tested before causing some very expensive damage and having to buy a complete new engine.............. Having already had the problem once expecting a different outcome when taking the boat out again, particularly on a long run down to the Shambles!!! is just asking for trouble. I hope it gets sorted without having to replace the complete engine
