During navigation the connection from the outside oil tank to the engine's internal oil tank broke, right at the connection with the internal 2 stroke oil reservoir. I realized sth. wrong when the engine went into protection, the oil was exactly at the lower mark. Refilled by hand from the main tank, ran allright to the port ... but I need to keep going, am in Bonifacio, Corsica, no chance to find spares. What is my best option? Keep refilling the internal tank with oil or add 2 stroke oil to the fuel (in this case, how do I override the cutoff?)? I know it is ugly, if at all possible, to override a security feature, but I do not know how much I can go with the oil from upper to lower marker and am scared to open the engine and refill oil on the open sea .... What do you think is the best option ? Need to travel 40 mls home, sea is not rough but enough choppy to possibly have salt water reach the open engine. Thanks!
