2001 4.3L GL PEFS Volvo penta, Outdrive SX-M 1.79
I literally just bought this boat today..I looked at it for the first time yesterday at the guys house and I ran it in his driveway on the hose and it ran and sounded perfect! The engine only has 24 original hrs on it.... so I got the cash and paid him today, brought the boat home ( present for my wife's birthday!) and put it on my hose to show my wife and within 30-45seconds it starts spewing milkshake everywhere!! The only difference was that i did not put the outdrive in gear at his house but I did at mine, could this be some sort of seal between the outdrive and motor letting water in the block? The entire motor is filled with this stuff including the pan and it was GUSHING out! it was coming out of the port side exhaust vapor vent. I didn't show any sigh of this at his house and it's only been ran about five minutes since the first time I looked at it. The guy said he had it on the water a week ago and it ran great, I'd like to believe he is telling the truth. I saw a couple of the EXACT same pictures as mine, same motor and everything, on this forum, but no of the postees ever posted the findings/fixes. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Here is links to the pictures
