Reply To: Engine failure + exhaust problem

[Richard Proud]

Hello,
My 38 had a very similar experience. New engine fitted, ran for about six hours, water in the oil. The cause was that the engineer had removed the anti syphon loop from the system. On the 38 the anti syphon loop should discharge from the Starboard hull side. I have been fighting the installer for a year now. The case has been taken on by my insurers under my legal cover.
The symptoms are so similar to those on my engine it would be worth just checking the anti syphon loop, if you have cover and have not done so it would be worth involving your insurer. If my costs had been lower I would have done the legal claim myself via the small claims procedure.
Best regards,
Richard Proud.
