My own boating experience is taking a break from 'good times' to frustration with a persistent oil leak. A 1" pipe fitting at the external oil filter housing started leaking and it's very frustrating to have any oil in your bilge water (as you know) because you can't just vacuum up oily water and pour in down the sink.
I took it apart and looked for cracks, nothing found so wrapped it up with teflon tape, which I've since read is not recommended for anything subject to vibration, only to have it start leaking after a couple hours run time.
Again disassembled and inspected, I bought Permatex "high performance" thread sealer ($15) AND the "recommended for best results" primer ($20) then followed the directions exactly, waiting 24 hours before use, only to have it leak after a couple hours.
