There’s An Eel In My Volvo Penta Sterndrive

Gasp!!!! Look at this people! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I received the images and film sent to me by Lee our Walton-On-The-Naze branch manager. Totally unbelievable!

What started out as an investigation into why the oil was becoming emulsified in a Volvo Penta DP-SM sterndrive, soon took a very smelly, slightly surreal, macabre turn. 

After splitting the drive Lee was shocked to discover an eel had wiggled its way up into the exhaust outlet, slid down to the shaft area and met an unfortunate end. I’m not sure it’s suitable for Christmas lunch but at least the sterndrive is happier.

In Lee’s words...there ends this fishy tale.
