Chocolate milk

[finlayj]

As the title suggests, looking like I had some water in my oil.

It's a 1991 Rinker with a 350mag. Always change the oil at the beginning of the season, so it was old oil sitting all winter. Boat kept covered outside. Was professionally winterized by the marina.

While changing the oil today I noticed the color didn't look right in my tube sucking it out. When I finally got to replacing the filter... Chocolate milk.

New oil and new filter, idled for awhile and when checked this time looked normal. I'll take it for a test run tomorrow, weather on its way.

Think it's fine or...no? I realize this is tough to gauge. Shutting additional I can check?

I'll keep a close eye on it moving forward.

Doesn't sound good, but just keep an eye on it. If water doesn't show back up and oil pressure is good, it may be OK.

What I worry about more then anything else right now is IF (the big if) water of any kind was in the bearings

So in the if possibility how would I tell if water got in the bearings?

It's a 5.7 so 5qts.

Best part is the owner/mechanic of the Marina sold it over the winter and retired.

Ayuh,.... If only 5 quarts,... I'd guess ya found condensation, not water in the oil from a cracked block,...

Went for a test spin this morning which was... Fun. Lots of weather last night here in Pittsburgh, Pa so dodging all sorts of crazy stuff in the river.

Temp responded accordingly. Oil pressure acted normal under light and heavier load. Waited until it cooled down enough and pulled the filter.. No milk. Still purple (use Royal purple synthetic).

Crossing fingers for condensation here...
