Hello,
This is my first time to post on this forum. I have searched for a solution for this problem for a day or so but nothing quite matches my issue.
I have a pair of 2006 DF175s with about 500hrs on them. They have run great since I have the boat. We took a fishing trip Saturday for about 5-6 hours with no issues. Lifted the boat and tilted the motors up overnight. I usually always store with the motors down.
On Sunday I tried to start the motors the port motor wouldn't start with out giving it some throttle but then wouldn't idle. I am fairly certain this a filter issue. The stbd motor started and ran normal but then I noticed oil seeping out of the auxiliary exhaust port on the back. It had only been running for about 10 minutes or so. No alarms, no smoke, just normal sounding operation.
I started the motor later that day and did not see any oil leaking. Could this just be a result of the motor being tilted overnight or is there a bigger problem here. How could the oil get into this exhaust pipe?
Thanks in advance.
