Water in oil at 10-hour change

[AlphaTera]

Purchased a new 222S a month ago and after 10 hours I went to do the proper oil/filter change. Warmed up the starboard engine in the lake (I have never used the hose connector) and upon pumping out the oil it became very apparent that the oil was full of water (milky). I proceeded to flush engine (running it in between) 3 times with fresh oil. Each flush the oil is still milky. During the first 10 hours, I never noticed a problem with the engine, never got an overheat warning, there was always clear (no oil) water coming from the pee-hole. I assume that this is a mfg defect from hour 1 and the engine ran for 10-hours with water in the oil. The boat is at the dealer waiting on inspection.

Question; does anyone have any experience in dealing with Yamaha on a situation like this? Obviously, this is a now and forever compromised engine I really do not feal good about settling for a repair on an $80K brand new boat. Best solution would be a full-swap to a different boat but do not know if that is in the cards. Thoughts?

BTW, love the boat

Take it to the dealer this is a warranty issue.

Other than the milky look, were there any other indications that water was in the engine? Did you check oil level before the oil change?

I did not really notice any other indicators. Maybe a rough start (could have been a bit of hydro lock??) but that is just thinking back on it. I did not check oil level prior to pumping.

Did you pump out a significantly larger amount of oil than was expected? I know the oil in my motorcycles will have a milky appearance every once in a while without water mixed in.

Sorry to hear that at least its fresh water any pictures of the milky oil ? Does the engine compartment smell like gas at all ? How does the other engine oil look any pictures of the dipstick ? I would document everything. Unless the dealer has a tank or takes it out on the water running it on the hose at the dealership will not produce the same water pressure that it gets while in the water at higher RPMs

Could it have been vandalism do you have any enemies or unpaid contractors

clear (no oil) water coming from the pee-hole

I don't think that has ever been observed oily water out the pee hole

Is the air filter wet?

 

[AlphaTera]

Turns out after investigating (compression test and consulting with Yam.) it was found that a casting defect on the head is allowing water intrusion. Dealer is working on obtaining parts and rebuilding engine.

Sorry to hear that keep us posted on the repair time frame,this not common. Any way to press them for a new motor if the air filter is wet it shows that a substantial amount of water was in the motor it eventually gets pushed out trough the breather hose and on the filter. It could have over pressurized areas and compromised other seals.
