The previous owner says the oil usage is from break-in, and the bilge problem is from the previous event. Is this a break-in event, or is there a possibility that the new block has a hose or fitting leak somewhere, thus the quart per hour, and the constant oil in the bilge. Number two.The new engine seems to be using about a quart of oil every two hours.

I don't own a trailer so I cant pull it out of the water and let gravity take over.

Every time I go to use the boat, there's oil in the bilge. Hand pump.bilge pump.makes no difference. One.I can't seem to get all of the residual oil from the first mishap out of the bilge. Stand-Up guy, running a Stand-Up business. The business covered all repairs, and replaced the block with a new one. Last winter,through no fault of his own, one of his tech's reported doing a winterization on my boat, when in fact, none was performed. When I acquired it, the engine time was 360 on the 7.4, and the boat was immaculate.Īs the previous owner did all of the maintenance at his shop, I opted to keep him as my primary go to guy. It was his personal boat, which he bought new.

An hour or more later i drove the truck another 4 miles and it was in drive, but the indicator was showing manual mode, 4th gear. I drove the truck about 8 miles and shut it off, trans temp stayed under 125. I purchased the boat in September of 2012, from the owner of a marine repair shop. I checked the level and it wasnt on the dipstick so I bought more fluid and filled it up the next day. I am also the proud owner of a 1995 272 Barchetta.
