Just got my Mercruiser 140 I/O
Just got my Mercruiser 140 I/O in the water yesterday. We werent even in the water yet when I noticed a small drip or two coming from the top of the motor. Keep in mind that I am new to boats and do have some mechanical skills however I couldnt see under the hoses to see where the water was coming from. I figure the drip before the water was because the water that was in the motor from having tested the boat earlier with earmuffs. When we were in the water the drip continued. It was at the rate of about two drips per 10 to 20 seconds i would guess. How concened should i be the bilge pump didnt even come on after a couple hours on the water and it works fine. Any ideas where this may be coming from? Thanks in advance for any help.
