I recently purchased a 2005 Searay 180. I went to start it up and had no oil pressure. I checked the oil and it appeared to be empty. I filled it with 20W40 synthetic as recommended. I started the boat, the oil pressure looked fine for about 30 seconds. Then I heard a sound that sounded like a sudden pressure release and the pressur guage bottomed out. I shut off the engine, opened the engine cover anf found oil dripping from the rear of the engine. Does anyone have a clue what would be the source of this sudden release of oil under high pressure?
