So, I recently had a new engine put into my boat a replacement for my Volvo Penta . Was breaking it in as per the guidelines, when about 5 hours in (three different outings).
I had been checking everything over before and after each run, and checking pressures, temps etc.
While cruising about 2800 RPM's I heard a warning buzzer, dropped my speed immediately went into neutral, looked at the temp gauge 175 looked at my oil pressure gauge 0. Went to turn the key off and it did not sound good and it died.
Opened the engine compartment and the oil filter in line had come off at the crimp, not the fitting and dumped all the oil.
I took the boat to the place that took out the old engine and installed the new one, and he said they removed the lines from the fittings, which ok yeah I am sure they did, but they had to have messed around with the hoses in the first place, and who knows if maybe someone got western with the line if it was stubborn and did not loosen right away. Just curious what some of your opinions might be. Sure they can't be responsible for a hose crimp maybe, but they were the last ones to mess around with said lines. I am pretty sure the engine is not in good shape, just from the sound it was making.
History, I had the engine replaced, and they were able to reuse the exhaust manifolds. Everything except the block.
