2008 232 Limited S massive oil leak

[Barron]

My port engine will not hold oil. It seems to run out of the rear of the engine as fast as I can put it in. Any ideas what the problem might be? I’m thinking gasket on the oil cooler or perhaps something came loose.

Rear of the engine is a pretty vague description,

maybe a picture ?

the good thing about a massive leak is that it should be easy to locate,

if it's below the drive shaft, maybe it's the oil pump ??

Thank you for the information. I contacted Phil Dill and will take it to them next week. We will see.

Needing some referrals for a mechanic in the Rockwall, TX Area or DFW Area. I have a 2006 AR230 that needs work. Phill Dill Marine in Lewisville won't work on anything 10+ years old. They gave me an independat mechanics number and I have left a message. Waiting for a reply.

Was reaching out to see if there is anyone else around.

Sucked up a ski rope at speed that someone dropped in the lake. wound it tight with the ski rope handle tight against the hull. got it all cut out after an hour of bruised knuckles. Got back to the dock, things started running rough, engine compartment and ski locker filled to the deck with water. bilge finally caught up and back up on the lift. Worried about seals, bearing, bent impeller, etc.. I have a trailer and can get the boat anywhere in the DFW area. Just need some referrals.

thanks all!

Very interesting and makes me even less comfortable with Phil Dill, either you stand by your product line or you don't,
@allenrobbins

I could almost understand if it was a two stroke and you needed your carbs adjusted or something out of date but there is nothing different in the drive line of these two boats....

Did u ever find a leak? I have a motor that seems to lose oil while sitting on the trailer but for the life of me cannot find any oil or evidence of a leak anywhere

These MR-1 powered boats have a dry sump, where the dip stick is. You need to check oil level while running at idle or seconds after shutdown. The oil will leak back down into the motor after it sits for a few minutes giving a false reading. Make sure you dont over fill it.

Maybe the oil drain plug is loose.

There is bolt in the back of the motor that will allow you to drain all the oil maybe the previous owner used it but lost the crush washer . I lost mine when doing it ? and its not a common item . Hopefully its a simple fix
