I have recently purchased a Monterey 276 over here in the UK!
Engine is Volvo penta 7.4GL ( Carb) and is used in fresh water.
I notice that the boat is putting some oil out in the water while at tick over in the Marina.
I have recently fitted a thermostat (not fitted previously) which has brought the operating temperature up to around 120 F from a previously undetectable temperature on the gauge. I thought the low temp was causing an over rich situation, hence the oil in water. This is obviously not the case as the oil is still there
Any ideas ?????
Thanks in advance
