Hi all , I get gear box flooded of water , maybe some problems with heat exchanger?
Always check the dipstick on a boat you are thinking of buying.
I went to buy a boat and when I checked the dipstick there was water mixed with the oil.
This boat had a badly designed cockpit and water would get into the bilges.
The owner had an automatic bilge pump fitted and had a battery charger connected to the marina pontoon socket to keep the battery charged to make sure the bilge pump worked.
Unfortunately another boat owner pulled the plug to use the socket and when he pushed the plug back in, the electrics tripped in the boat.
So with the bilge pump not working water rose in the bilge to the point where the water was higher than the hole for the dipstick and thats how the sump got filled with water.
And a local marina was supposed to be checking the boat every week.
