98 MERCRUSIER 3.0 LITER ON A BAYLINER CAPRIS.
Bought the boat late last fall and took it out 10 times. On the 9th rally I noticed green hydraulic fluid coming out of the left side lower weep holes ( stern looking to bow) when I lowered the motor for Inspection ( Colorado water mollusk mandatory Insp.).
I pulled the boat back into the lot and cleaned it up and raised and lowered the motor several times and it did not come out again.
I also checked the reservoir and it was full. Decided to go boating anyway and then made another trip, before old man winter set in,
with nothing coming out since the inspection episode.
Like a dumbazz I did not winterize the boat as life got in the way. However I did have it stored in our garage with the engine facing the house wall so it stays fairly warm all winter.
Anyhoo first of all the leaking incident ??? and second ; anyone have a good write up on replacing everything ?
Seals and all? Mechanically inclined to the point I've rebuilt car engines more than once..........
Thanks for any and all input and yes u can call me a dumbazz for not winterizing
