    Exhaust Bellow

    Just seems like it should’ve been one piece without holes to keep water from running back up into the exhaust manifold I guess or to allow exhaust gases to escape properly. I’m no boat mechanic though.

    Exhaust Bellow

    So I ordered an exhaust bellow off of Amazon and in the description it said it was for my boat, but look at this thing. I thought they were supposed to be sealed? Will it work?

    Oil level too high?

    Yeah, I thought about taking it out on the water this weekend and bringing all the tools needed to either add or remove oil and just go from there.

    Oil level too high?

    True, but I’ve waited 24 hours after I’ve “emptied” it and for some reason it’s still showing that it’s way overfilled.

    Oil level too high?

    This crossed my mind, but what freaks me out now is I’m wondering if that manual pump just didn’t pull all of the oil out, then I’d essentially be almost doubling the amount of recommended oil.

    Oil level too high?

    I’m not sure I’m picking up what you’re putting down. So hypothetically let’s just say the dipstick tube to where the lip of the pan is, is 20 inches, so I add 4 inches from the bottom end of the actual dipstick to make it 24 inches which should make it 4 inches below the center line of the crank?

    Oil level too high?

    That is probably gonna be my next option to do this weekend; find some sort of drain plug in the oil pan and see how much comes out. If it’s quite a bit then I’ll know that dipstick pump is garbage. Like I’ve said, I’ve pumped to the point where it just sucks air and it’s still reading halfway...

    Oil level too high?

    It’s almost like the dipstick is too long. Even if that was the case, where I supposedly drained all the oil out it still shows halfway up on the dipstick which is crazy to me.

    Oil level too high?

    Well, it’s one of those manual pull pumps that just screws on to the end of the dipstick tube.

    Oil level too high?

    If it makes a difference at all, the way my driveway is slanted, the port side sits a little higher than the starboard side, but nothing crazy. I’d say including filling the filter with oil I probably put around 6 quarts in it which was probably a little overboard, but my plan was to put in more...

    Oil level too high?

    That’s understandable, but mine is one of the earlier models. Plus, I vacuumed the oil out to where I was pulling out mainly air and it was still reading halfway up on the dipstick.

    Oil level too high?

    Ok, so I have a 98 Four Winns Horizon with the 5.0GL engine. First off, I need to get myself back to the basics and ask how do I check the oil? Do I check it with the dipstick all the way in or do I put it down to where the waves start? The reason I’m asking this is because I went to change my...
