coolant loss w/ white smoke from exhaust
Had an issue with my 2006 28TE. I have a volvo D6, 310hp engine with 2900 hours on it. Came in from a trip and coolant light came on...once I slowed down I noticed white smoke from the exhaust. Lost about a gallon or a bit more of coolant. Short of pulling out the engine, no one can seem to identify exactly what's wrong. "Could be" from everyone including mechanics. If it is a blown head gasket or if engine needs to be rebuilt, how do you remove it from the boat or do I have to cut open the deck in order to do that? Any info is appreciated!!

BTW, no coolant found in oil or bilge. All coming out of the exhaust...

No idea, sure sounds like a head gasket. Did they do a leak down test or pressure test the heat exchanger?
