Gasoline on the water surface - Maxum Boat Owners Club

Hello everyone, I have a new problem on my 2700 scr 5.7L Bravo 2. There are many fuel (or oil) stains appearing on the back of the boat when the engine is running. Do you have an idea ? All transom seals are new... Thanks for your help.

Is the oil level going down? If not it’s fuel due to running to rich.

Maby too rich.
I will look. THANKS

BTY if you see signs of this without the engine running it would either be drive trim or trim tabs.

Another thought is check your power steering fluid level, a leaky PS cooler could be the issue.

It comes from transom. You have to get the boat out of the water 😩

I can’t tell if it’s coming from the trim cylinder or the outdrive but either way the boat needs to be pulled to address. Are you loosing trim fluid or gear lube?
