Took my 08 RZ2 with Marine Power engine out Saturday for the first time this year. Under power there seemed to be gas fumes in the cabin. Never had this before. Any ideas what to look for?

What's your engine package? Most commonly found with small blocks is a dead spark plug or bad coolant temp sensor which over-fuels the engine. Once diagnosed, if it's either of those, change your engine oil again as it probably has fuel dilution too.Fixing everyone elses boat just so I can use mine... -
Gas or exhaust? - Without freshair exhaust and your walkway windshield closed the exhaust fumes will roll back in to the boat...called the station wagon effect. As soon as you open the walkway windshield the fumes will get pushed out.Comment

BCRider - Thank you. I think you hit the nail on the head. I never close my windshield but did Saturday. I will test it next time out.Comment

I have a 2000 21i
Over here in Australia and we always drive with out windshield closed. No matter what activity we do behind the boat we never any fumes rolling into the boat.
Maybe it could be something else like a cracked muffler or exhaust rubber towards the transom.
Just a thoughtComment

I just noticed more than normal exhaust fumes myself. Its certainly not gas but smells stronger than normal. Im wondering if its one of those things you posted.Originally posted by boatwakes View Post

I had the same problem last year with my 2009 22VE with PCM engine. Engine oil kept measuring above full line. I had the fuel tested and it was very diluted with gas. The mechanic pulled the fuel injectors and had them cleaned and re-installed and the fumes are gone. All good this spring.Comment
