I have a 1987 Wellcraft Nova XL 23 with a 260 hp Mercruiser - 350 chevy & high output exhaust. Engine sat idle for 3 years - only 300 hours. When I run it at 3600 rpm at 40 mph no visible oil leak. When I crank it up to 4400-4500 rpm the engine leaks oil quickly, but I can't see...
What CI and HP is a 1980 Mercruiser V8 - it's in a 1980 Slickcraft SC-200? I can't tell if the outdrive says 888 or 898? Previous owner thought it was a 350 CI. Other sites say that the 888 was made prior to 1977? Is it a 898. Any prop recommendations - need one.
