I know this subject has been well discussed ... however I do not see anything in the history specifically like this issue.
I have a 2014 VF250 with 916 hrs.... I have owned the boat for the last 700 or so hours. Never had more than a very minor issue with "making oil" until the last 61 hours she made 1.4 quarts (measured)
I have been told I don't run it hard enough and that may be true... I normally never rev much more than 4,000 and I do idle around scanning with the sonar.
Lakes are small and Im just not in that big a hurry.
My driving habits have not changed since I have owned the boat.
Any input on why it suddenly and so drastically started "making oil" ?
Appreciate the help
Paul

"Making Oil" is a term for fuel getting into the oil system.

If it is a recent phenomenon then I suspect that your cylinders might be in need of a decarboning treatment.

That or your thermostat(s) are stuck in the open position.
