Hello to all members here !
I need your help.
2 weeks ago I bought completely new, never used outboard engine Tohatsu MFS 9.8:
In the user manual I read that after 3-5 hours work I must change the engine oil and the gear oil.
Yesterday I decided to do this job. First I changed the engine oil - it was like new, but with small metal bits inside. I know the reason for these metal bits, so no problem with this.
Then I start to change the gear oil. Here is what I have drained out:
It was bad surprise, because I have read in the manual if the gear oil have milky color to contact the local dealer for assistance.
I decided to call first a friend here who have engine repair center. He told me to not worry.
Here goes my first question. Is this normal? Is this engine defective? It has 2 years warranty. After 2 days will start my family vacation. We all want to be with this boat in the sea every day. Is it safe for my family?
Linked to the above I have noticed one more thing. Look at this hole:
There have 2 holes like this on both sides. I have noticed that sometime from
these holes flow minimal quantity oil. I found stains in my garage under the engine and find out from where they come - from these 2 holes.
What mean these holes?
Please help me
