Help please. Bought used BW w/135 opti - take it straight to the shop for lwr unit flush/impeller and oil chg. Use the boat for 2 weeks no issues. Next time out stalling/restarting when shifting from N to F during idling AND the trim motor on its own starts raising the unit out of the water - shut off the motor to stop the trim motor. Restart it and all well. Next few times out stalling/restarting gets worse - restarting becomes more difficult after docking no more issues with trim motor. Put it back on trailer because I'm on travel for a couple wks. BW has self bailing deck drains so don't remove the drain plug - 2 wks heavy rain I put the boat over and the bilge is full of water. Lesson learned. Drain it, dry it, recaulk drain crack, swap out battery put it overboard Starts up fine. Experience same stalling/restarting while idling, no other problems until end day when oil alarm sounds 4 beeps2 min. Worried water may have compromised the remote oil tank on top of the staling/restarting issue take it to the shop. Shop calls - no oil in onboard tank- remote tank oil is brown should be blue. Shop changes the oil and fills onboard tank says they took it out didn't experience any staling/restarting issues while idling. I pick it up - staling/restarting begins while I'm backing off the trailer. I put it back on the trailer and take it back to the shop and neither of us can duplicate the issue. Take it home put it overboard and continue to have the same 2 problems mentioned in the topic before I pull away from the slip. After calling my dealer to make another appointment, they told me not to bring it back because they can't duplicate the problems. This is the 2nd shop who is not able to duplicate the issues. I'd like to be able to tell my dealer what do to fix the problems.
