    Where did my oil go?

    I am a new owner of a 1990 Four Winns boat with a OMC 5.7 Cobra engine. Prior to our maiden voyage (today) I checked the oil level and all was good. It still had new oil in it from being winterized in the fall. We rode around for about 20 minutes as an occasional knock from the engine got...
