    Oil smell

    2010 bayliner 185 with 3.0, A1: Had my cylinder head replaced this spring, boat runs like a top, about 8 hours since repair. Oil is clean, haven’t had to add any. I can see no leaks from valve cover, head gasket or pan. I just get this faint burning oil smell. I don’t let it concern me too...

    No power to ignition.........?

    So, I have recently had the cylinder head replaced after some unfortunate freeze damage on my Bayliner BR 185 (2010), with the 3.0L 135. Got it out the second time, ran like a top. Now is where the fun begins. Still being a basket case about the motor repair, we made some short runs near the...
