My trim tabs on my Shamrock leaked just enough to put oil in the water,never noticed any loss in the tabs reservoir. It does not take much to see it in the water. Just keep an eye on the trans level and color.

A item of interest, changed over to straight gas this summer, and then changed back to 93 octane to see if problem disappeared, nope.

Thay was a thought, but gas vaporize's pretty quick. A drop of Dawn and it disappeared.

I agree. Is there any indication of water in the trans fluid?

Has anyone seen oil sheen in water in and around there boat after shutting down. Watercontinues to circulate as the engine cools down so its coming out the exhaust.No oil loss noted.
