belching fluid
recently after running semi hard for about two hours I have noticed that a considerable amount of sterndrive fluid has belched out of the fluid reservoir -- any ideas as to why would be appreciated -- this last summer the engine was rebuilt and drive pulled and fully serviced

HUGE air pocket...water....overfilled....cracked rez....combination of.
take the top cap off the drive. inspect the bearing and the race....see if it was starved of lube or had excessive heat present. this will also give the current oil level...if you can't see any??...pull the back cover....if none comes out then it was way underfilled...drain the oil and inspect it as well....
i hate you KAMMA...making me type!
