4.3 Mercruiser

[robz192]

I have a Searay 195 with a 4.3 Mercruiser, today I released the water out with the single point drain system, I noticed some fluid came out, bluish like the drive lube, the drive lube resorvoir is quite low & was serviced not that long ago. I hooked up the muffs, gave it a good flush, turned it off, drained it again seemed clear, repeated that once more & seemed clear. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ayuh,....... Welcome Aboard,..... The drive oil has nothing in common with the cooling system, so I can't see what you describe happening,.....

If the seals were gone in the raw water pump, it's more likely you'll see water in the drive oil, than gear oil in the cooling system,......

It is this in concentrated form, assuming some of the other chemicals in it evaporated away.
