"I was fishing a tournament this weekend and was headed to the weigh in at 24-knots. The motor shut down and I wa sdead in teh water. I pulled the engine cover and there was oil all over the top of the engine and in the bilge. Next to the dip stick is a second pipe taht looks just like a dip stick, but it has a cap over the pipe. This cap blew off and all the oil blew out of this area. The engine did not feel hot and it started back up after adding oil. I ran back in only at 4.5-knots to make sure I ddi not due much more damage. Any idea what would cause this and how I can test to see what damage was caused by this incident. I was told that this motor may have an automatic low oil pressure shut down. Does anyone know if this is true?
