Hi all.....I'm new to Tige' and inboards, so please excuse any dumb questions I may have in the future....
We have a 2001 20ci with a 350 Mercruiser/Chev and it's been running great, until this past saturday.
I was waved down in a channel and asked to tow another wake boat who ran out of gas.
I towed them across the lake at about 5 mph, but after we unhooked, and I tried to take off, I had white smoke comming from the exhaust, and it wouldn't run right, no power.
So, I Cruised slowly home, and checked the oil, and it was clean, but it looked like it was way beyond the "full " mark, overfilled and I know it wasn't before.
Anyway, I was going to drain it and put in new oil and filter, but when I opened the drain hose, the oil won't run out.....any ideas why?
Does it have to be pumped out?
Any ideas on what could be the problem with the engine would be appreciated.
Thanks
