I am looking out from our deck and this boat was throwing a TON of black smoke into the air... I am new here, so tell me what you all think.

We park our boat next to about six of those things and we are always covered with the soot that those stacks put out. So it's all good.

as long as the smoke is coming out from the top of the stack is all good with those old diesel pushers!!

Nothing looks odd about it.

If it looks like this, yes something wrong.

Explosion destroys houseboat in Amsterdam | DutchAmsterdam.nl

when I was in Amsterdam I saw the tiny pieces left in a canal from a propane tank explosion on a houseboat.The blast blew a guy out of the second story window onto a pedestrian in a alley below...check your hoses!

Or... looking like this. This is from the guys we rescued a couple years back. And, you could tell there was a problem because the smoke filled the sky. People onshore 12 miles away saw it.

A lot of times they blend used oil with diesel and from that you will get more smoke.
