Took my 19ft boat (20 yrs old) out of storage this weekend and started it up in the driveway. As usual it took a bit to get going but idled and ran fine the two times I started it. The oil looked a bit low so I added some. After being out on the lake running at about 1/2 speed I started to get a low oil pressure reading and a high engine temp (never had that before). Checked the dip stick and oil was way low. Got back to the dock and went to get more oil, added what I thought was the correct amount and the problem did not go away. When I checked the dip stick it showed to much oil. What gives? Before I left I drained all the oil out and will change the filter and put in new oil. Is the pump shot? Any help would be appreciated.<br />Brian
