Re: Water in the tranny
It's a boat. Unfortunately, almost all lessons are expensive ones. Good luck getting the issue fixed.

Re: Water in the tranny
Don't beat yourself up, was nothing you did or didn't do, there was no way for you to know....just bad luck with a poorly designed cooler location, IMO.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Re: Water in the tranny
Yea... my admiral at home is telling me to put it behind me and move on. I am trying.
I did meet with the tranny expert and will be purchasing a rebuilt from him for $2,300.00. He suggested that I change the tranny fluid yearly when changing the engine oil. He also suggested that the tranny filters can be changed as well. Gosh... I didn't even know that transmissions had filters that required changing!
He suggested that the cooler, which is made from copper, be replaced every 10-12 years. I am going on Viper's time line of a 5 year plan. At $140.00 a pop it is worth it. Thanks all.
