Just bought 25' Parker wit
Just bought 25' Parker with a 350 crusader with a 5000 series velvet drive tranny. 2nd day fishing engine alarm went off but oil pressure and engine temp were fine. Stuck my head in the engine room and noticed that ATF fluid had been sprayed or slung against the wall but had stopped. I dryed everything off best I could and never found a leak and the tranny never slipped or acted funny. when I got back to the dock it seems that it had been over filled. Could the spray be from the breather vent and would that set the alarm off? The fluid doesn't look to me like it got that hot so I'm just curious as to what the alarm would be for? ATF usually starts to turn black or starts to smell over 200 degrees from my experience?
