Hi guys, new to the forums. Over the winter, i "winterized" my boat myself. Went to replace my starter a few weeks ago and found the freeze plugs knocked out of a couple of holes. After having these replaced, I've hooked up and ran it here at the house for about 10 mins each time. Idling and running up to about 1800 rpm. so far, no water in the oil. BUT, i have heard sometimes it doesn't show until you actually run the boat under a load ? Any truth to this ? Boat is a Horizon 180 with Volvo/Penta with 4.3 vortech.And yes, i know they aren't actually freeze plugs but glad they serve that purpose when needed.
