i put the boat in sunday at sherman cove. checked the oil before we left. It was a quart low.. added a quart and took off. Went slow and before i could get to the channel the oil pressure dropped to zero and all the oil leaked out(all of it) into the beilge area. rear main seal is all I can think?

sound more like a hole in your oil pan to me. all the oil will not dump out of your engine in 15 minutes from your main seals leaking. maybe if your main seals were totally gone. on my old i/o the pan rotted on me, causing the engine to FAIL!

Same here on the oil pan. I have NEVER in all the engines I've worked on seen a seal that would leak that much oil in that short period of time, then I haven't seen everything either. Nothing would surprise me, but think it's the pan. I'd drain the bildge, clean up what I could and with the engine static pour a gallon of diesel in the engine (as you would oil), slowly so if you see it leak you can stop. "Q" how do you know ALL the oil leaked out, you do something you didn't tell?

| Check the oil cooler or remote oil filter and lines. Sounds like an oil pressure leak.

Must be a merc cruiser. See the oil pan rust thru all the time. The very bottom gets emersed all the time. The oil pan for a four wheel drive vehicle is the same as a marine oil pan. They both have baffles to keep the oil from sloppin' around in ruff terrane or seas. Epoxy coat the new one and that'll end the problem!
