Simon1 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi All, i have a question for you all. I took my boat out for a nice day on the river but when i got home and flushed the motor i noticed alot of oil mixed with the water. I use a flush bag to flushn the motor thats how i knew there was heaps of oil as the surface was coated in it. The motor is a 79 V4 100hp evinrude. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightmanager Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 What colour was the oil ? If it was black , that is unburnt fuel/oil mix which exits via the exhaust. If it was a milky colour , probably gearcase oil , which would warrant further invesyigation. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon1 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi Ross, it is black when it sits on the water but when i tilt the motor back up there is alot of milky oil under the foils. Well it sounds like i have a gearbox problem . I'll have to get it booked in for an inspection. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
