2001 F115--300 hours.
Did the following maintenence prior to seeing the problem:
1-Changed oil and filter
2-Changed fuel filters
3-Changed spark plugs
4-Changed timing belt
5-Change T'stat
6-Performed Leak Down Test
Ran the boat 3 hours and in checking the oill level when I returned saw the creamy coffee oil. (see pic)
Maybe half of the 3 hours were at pretty low rpm's just idling around looking for crab fishing spots for when it opens.
I normally just use the big motor to run to where I want to go and then use the 8 hp to troll so maybe that's the reason although I would think these motors should be able to handle that.
Last 1\2 hour I ran above 4500 RPMs.
Motor runs good and WOT is 5900 RPM
Did another leak down test and there's no leakage above 3% if that.
Pulled the new T'stat and put the new and old in a pan of water and they both opened at the same time right around 125F or so.
Other then the low speed variable the only thing I can think of, and that seems like a long shot, is that when I filled the crankcase after draing the oil I tilted the motor up quite a ways because it made it easir to fill.
I'm kind of perplexed.
You out there Rodbolt?
