Notice an oil slick a couple of weeks ago and couldn't tell if it was coming from my boat or dock.
Took it back out the other day. Backed trailer/boat into water, float it off and tied onto the dock. Sure as hell looks like it's coming out of the motor somewhere.
Here are pictures of when I had it on the dock. The motor hasn't been started yet. It was just sitting there tied off. It dissipated after about 10 mins or so and I didn't see anymore.
Then I started the motor and looked out the back. And saw slick forming again. So here's a video of it.
When I get out onto the water, I do not see this at all. I'll stay in the back when it's still and nothing. Start the motor and nothing. From the video, it looks pretty obvious it's coming from the motor. I'm thinking it's coming out of the pee hole on the side. I don't think it's coming out of the prop. In the video, motor is in neutral. I wonder if it has something to do with being tilted up, then down.
Motor has 8.3 hrs on it now.
