1st winter casuality? pickup leaking
I noticed a little drip from my thru hull pick up last week, thought it might been condensation. we've had temps from 10 to 60 last couple of weeks looked today about a cupfull, looks maybe hydraulic mixed in it (not sure) The boat was winterized last year and not ran this summer and sits outside undercover. 94'502 mpi's. I can't really get inside engine compartment right now to look around at the moment anybody have any ideas of how bad my grief might be.

"closer look leads more to antifreeze" Could be destroyed. Open it up or wait impatiently... Best of luck! |
With thermal expansion you can get some fluid movement back out the pickup. It is the low point. I quess you used antifreeze to winterize it. If you did don't worry.

Thanks I was hoping it was something like that with weather being so crazy (60 to 12) in a day. It got colder last year and never did this. Only starboard did it. But I guess if it wasn't froze on concrete I guess it didn't freeze inside. The water I used to wash it off froze on impact. I was afraid something might let loose to let the pressure release the fluid. Like you said it is the low point. Just concerned since it has sat for a year without attention
