if your boat is moving 70 mph and it is bouncing around a little bit the oil is being thrown to the rear of the valve cover.if the engine is stationary like on a dyno you do not have the foreward motion throwing the oil to the rear.it does make a difference.

Is it that the oil fills up so high that the rocker arm on the 7 and 8 exhaust valves are is slinging it ? Or the spring itself ?
I had to mount mine in the rear this year because the tall teague breathers wouldn't clear my stellings if they were in front. Hope I'm not gonna have an issue

This has 99.999999999% fixed all my oil issues out the breathers. Before I did the foam after every time out i was back there wiping up damn oil.That and make sure you don't have oil coming out the oil dip stick. It would be a good idea to get a long spark plug boot over the dip stick to seal that up. Good luck!!Skydog http://www.amazon.com/Racing-20217-F...fuel+cell+foam

Would evac tubes work? I have a 23 T-bucket with the evac tubes welded into the header. They are connected a hose to where the breathers would be on the valve covers and that stopped my oil issue at the valve cover gaskets. I don't see why this wouldn't work on a marine application. Just make sure they are properly baffled and keep checking your oil level.
