Re: Blew my DP-SM 1.95 it has water in the oil
Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,... My guess is, a seal went bad.... What's yer maintenance history,..??
It is a 2006 2601 striper. I bought the boat 3 years ago and the shop I bought it from did a complete go through.
They for got one thing when I picked it up.
To put oil in the out drive. First run out blew it as you can emagine. Talk about mad. The oil cap was still lose.
My bad for not checkin. I aked if everything was great and they sad take it out and run it.
They ate the total rebuild.They said I lost a seal but it was bone dry no water in it, or oil.
I have had them service it for winterization. but I check everything now even after they do something.
This includes all fluid changes.
They just changed Gimble bearing last time in a few months ago and belows. For slight leak. I checked the oils after that and it was clear. I been on 10 long runs since then.
I would think the rebuild would last years.
What do you know about these drives?
Any help on your experience would help. I go long trips for tuna and halibut. so say 70-120 miles per trip.
Thanks
Peter
