I just took over a 34ft sailboat from a friend who had to move. It is kept at Cooper River Marina in North Charleston. I myself work as an engineer on the container ships. I'm just not as familiar with the smaller diesel engines. Anyways, when we were backing out the slip, I noticed we weren't moving very fast and increased RPM. Turns out we were on the bottom. At the higher RPM, I noticed dark oil coming out the exhasut/water outlet. It went away as soon as I dropped RPM from full. We ended up going out and having a good sail until on the way back the engine would not start. It would roll, has fuel pressure, ect. Ended up sailing it back into the marina. I went back the next day and found the engine oil empty and coolant water empty as well. I know it had pleanty of oil to begin with so I believe the oil out the exhaust/water outlet was from the sump. So I am not exactly sure what the most probably causes are on this engine. If you have some time to help troubleshoot, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
