At first I thought is was from excess gas that spills out when i fill my boat up but after to day I'm not so sure? I thought it could possible be a cracked line but then a buddy mentioned it could be the lower unit seal? Any of you experts out there have any ideas?

The new, tough fishing line is also tough on seals. Mine did the exact same thing, I noticed the film and went in to check it out. There was fireline around my prop and my seal was leaking.

Some idiot didn't put on (or at least tighten) the oil cap off the old 4-stroke and she was throwing oil up into the engine cowling which eventually ended up in the water. Put the cap on, scrubbed the motor and haven't seen it since. Also punished my mechanic by making him drink Busch Lite one evening.

Ha ha, That will just make him want to not check other stuff on your motor so you keep coming back to him. Free beer is your problem. Try making him drink wisky and see if that helps.

You shouldn't spill that much fuel when filling it so I'd check the fuel line connection at the motor first as already mentioned. If you're spilling that much fuel, stop it, fuel is expensive and not good for the fish.

Allen Joined: 01/09/2002 Location: ND	spikeshooter101 Said: You could buy a Ranger I wonder exactly how a glass boat of any type would prevent an oil leak on a motor, either 4-S or 2-S? Man, if it could do that I may just have to get me a disguise and buy one of them sparkly floaters.
