Hello, we have a 2001 380DA with 570 hours. When doing the pre-cruise check we noticed there was a little bit of white smoke coming from the starboard engine and less volume of water coming out of the exhaust than the port engine. At idle in the slip the temperature was at between 175°and 180°. We took her out for a cruise at idle around the marina and the starboard engine heated up to about 215° and noticed an in creased amount of white smoke. We shut down the engine and took it back to the slip. I pulled the dipstick prior to and after the cruise and there was no evidence of water. Would really appreciate advice on what this could be.

It is required to disassemble the exhaust for internal raw water passage inspection. Those parts must be replaced when corrosion deterioration or when the SOLID wall thickness is insufficient.
My last annual disassembly / inspection after 4 years of usage (since the redesign) reveals the internal passages still look brand new.
Start w/ a disassembly / inspection. See how the internal raw water passages look. The SOLID wall thickness must be acceptable.
Note that the correct gasket is required for reassembly.

To "Wingless" point, you will eventually will need to inspect/replace the manifolds and risers. If you do not know when this was last done then do it or schedule to have it done (good winter down time project) as that will eventually fail, especially in salt water.
