Out boating yesterday in our deck boat, only 90 hours and on our way back to ramp after being out 2 hours I heard a noise, engine just quit and when I lifed rear seat to look at motor, the bilge had only oil in it. So I lifed engine hatch to inspect and immediately I noticed water and within a few minutes I had a couple inches of water along with all the engine oil in the bilge. 5 minutes later I flagged down a boat to pull us to the ramp and the level was rising quickly. In this boat, there isn't much room to look down along the side of the block but we got it on the trailer and out of the water. Then before I pulled the plug, tons of water was coming out from both side of the transom housing (guess that's what it is called....cover that is flush with transom). It took a full hour to finally drain all the water out. I inspected the bellows and exhaust boots and they both appear fine and were recently replaced along with a new gimbal bearing (4 hours ago). When I pull dipstick, there is nothing...no oil or water just dry and the boat just had a full service with all new fluids, filters etc.....and I had just checked the oil and it was good. oil psi had been great, around 50-60 and temp had been running perfectly normal. No alarm went off as cooling temp was normal but the temp did increase right after it shut down to high normal but never up into the red.
Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated! I did want to see if boat would turn over and tried last night and it did.
