In Response To: Re: 3208s (Charlie Haws)

Just launched Happy Hour after a year on the blocks . Running down the Tuckahoe River the 5 mile to Ocean City, noticed decreasing oil pressure (the guage actually worked) and engine oil accumulating in the bilge. Took 4 quarts to get home. I haven't had a chance to determine source of the leak, but am suspicious of an oil pan seal, or a hose from the oil cooler. (advice welcomed!!!)
These 3208s start like gangbustersand run VERY economically.....cruises comfortably at 21K and a shade over 25K WOT. I haven't run them long enough to give you more info, but will after the leak is corrected. They are 210HP naturals.
