Hi, this is my first listing but I realy need some help. I have recently purchased my boat which is fitted with 200hp VP sterndrive. The first job we did was to change the oil and filter. Everything was fine until we slipped the boat, now we are getting oil spraying into the bilge from the area of the crankcase filter. The filter is clean but some oil around threads. As I work for Nissan we used Nissan 15W40 diesel oil. The engine runs superbly and never misses a beat. Any thoughts would appreciated |

Looking at buying a vessel with a 200hp volvo penta, already has 1300hrs on the clock and wondering with the lower hp does this also bring down the rebuild hours down from larger capacity engines, basically how many hours are they good for before a rebuild.
some help would br much apreciated |
