So I posted earlier today about how my bilge filled with water from improper seal around the base of the plug. When I got home from work I sealed it correctly and checked the motor oil and sure enough there was a quite a bit of water in there. As I stated the water level was above the crank pully. It never did get hot as I watch the gauge a lot, even on our way back to the dock after the level dropped it never overheated. I have allready drained and changed the filter once, ran it for about 5 mins then changed it again. And plan on doing it at least one more time. It was still quite milky...but not as bad.
Question is how did the water get in there..I am guessing the crank seal??? if I recall it is designed to keep oil in but not necessarly other fluid out..or is there something else I should be looking at?? Like I said it never overheated so I dont think anything is cracked..
It runs good, no misses and spark plus still look good.
Thanks alot people.
