Last weekend, we were pushing through some silty mud at low tide and the engine started smoking. As I've investigated, I believe that the smoke is blow-by (it comes hissing out of the oil filler cap) and I will probably be buying the AT-4CVS Indigo PCV kit to prevent the smoke from entering the cabin.
My question is that it appears the blow-by problem happened kind-of all of a sudden, and I'm wondering if this could be an indication of something more serious about to happen.
Some details about my A4
Boat: Ranger 28
Prop: 2 blade
RPMs: even at full throttle, max out around 1200
Oil: full, not dirty-looking
The guy I bought the boat from says that it's 9-10 hours on the motor since an overhaul, but I'm not sure what that entailed.
Bottom line, should I be concerned?
