Every time I check my oil, 220gpu there is always water on the dipstick? Is this normal? Also water driblets on oil cap, Is my air boat a Katrina victim
 
blow by hose? crank case breather. i think you mean. one is capped in rear of engine and front run s up the cage and out by flaps. should i just do an oil change with that bishops stuff?
 
first I would change the oil then re route your Crank case breather (blow by hose) and run it to the front hoop and down your crank case heat would make condensation in the (hose) by running it up it all flows back into the motor.
 
Run your crankcase vent hose from out of the engine and down.
some people run it up to the top of the cage so any moister vapor
leaving the engine will cool into water droplets, and unless your
engine has excessive crankcase pressure will run right back
into the crank case. when you run in swamps, marshes, lakes,
and rivers the humidity is always high, and your going to have
some water vapor inside your engine reroute your blowby hose
and change your oil on a regular basis you'll be ok.
 
When I first bought my 4 cylinder GPU, it had water in the oil as well. So I drained the oil, ran it and all was okay. The following weekend, I ran the motor and noticed I had water again in the oil. It just happened to be that I had bought a new carburator around this time, so I took off the carb and intake. I could see the jugs holding water after I removed the intake tubes. So I bought some intake tube O-rings and have not had a problem with water in the oil since. Just thought I would share my experience.

ONE OTHER THING ! WHEN YOU CRANK IT UP IN BETWEEN SITTIN SPELLS LET IT HEAT UP FOR A WHILE BURN THE CONDENSATION OUT. DOWN HERE HUMIDITY IS A B----T !
