Changed oil and filter at 400 hrs. Oil registered approx 1/8 " below top hatch mark on dip stick. Also changed out both T-stats and all fuel filters in preparation for a 4 day fishing trip. I was out in open ocean with huge swells so I spent 4 days operating the BF150 at 3,000- 3,700 RPM's. I ran it for approx. 10 hours in that range
Got home, checked dip stick--- oil is way over the top hatch mark (about 1 inch over)
What should I be checking on? Is this a common thing for the Honda BF150? I used to have a Yamaha F150 and when that happened I swapped out the T-stat and it never happened again. I just changed T-stats on the Honda so I'm left scratching my head.
thanks for any and all ideas on what I can do to address this
