Took my boat to the dealer to have some warranty work done. Also needed the shaft packing done. They took the boat out and noticed an alarm. They check the tran and v drive oil and they say both were empty. Wth? When I put it away for winter it was fine. This is the first time out and they say it's empty. No oil in the bilge at all either. Where the heck did it go? Malibu vride 2007.

Sounds like someone changed it for winterization and forgot to put the new stuff in.

I'm starting to think they are thinking of the wrong boat. I de-winterized it the day I took it to them. I ran the transmission at the boat launch and everything was fine. No alarms. I'd assume if it was empty I would have seen an alarm right away.
