I have a 1984 OMC in/out 3.8L motor on a Bomber 22ft boat that my son has maintained for three years. Last year we took it to a dealer for a tune up and $2200 later when we put it in the water it sputtered and we barely made it back to land. We took it back to the dealer where we ended up paying another several hundred to get the carb rebuilt.<br />We had a new floor put in last week and bought a pump to drain the old oil so we could put in new oil and potentially get the boat back in the water. When we pumped the oil we got nothing but water from the oil pan. we put a new oil filter on, put new oil back in. When we check the dip stick it shows no evidence of any oil being in the pan. can someone tell me what is happening and make recommendations?<br /><br />Thanks in advance -- Tenn Tom
