So Friday night I went to check on the boat and get it ready for sailing on Saturday. The oil alarm kicked on right as I started my Beta marine 20. I checked the oil and it was milky white I started pumping oil out and out came water! Yikes! Last weekend I was on a race on the ocean and we had seas 4-6 feet with occasional 10 footers. It was so rough my whole crew of 3 got sick over 3 times each. <o></o>

Well I did 4 oil changes to get the water out and on the fourth put on a new Oil Filter. I have been told that more often than people would think. Somebody told me to check to see if I have an exhaust loop. I do not, nor do I have a check valve. In fact the exhaust is pretty much a straight shot forward to the engine in my ericson 29. I think I will look to put a loop or check valve in. Another remedy was to put a flapper on the back. Has anyone done that?<o></o>
