Is Trany fluid too hot?

[slalom21]

Hey Everyone...finally getting back in the saddle skiing here in Tennessee now that my little boy is 2 and able to drive the boat...

Anyways I was checking the fluids after a few sets and when I opened the transmission (screw in) dipstick it released a fair amount of air pressure. (This was after the boat was out of the water and cooled overnight...it's a freakin' 100 degrees here.)  I don't remember hearing that before...however it's been a while.  Is that an issue with too much heat in the transmission case.  The fluid is nice and red and at a good level.   Engine temp is steady at about 160...

Thanks,

Bill

I have a 1999 Epic 21 and it does the same thing.

Same here, mine has done it since day one. I tough there would be a breather in the tranny somewhere but I have not seen it.

If the fluid is still redish and does not smell like it's burnt, you are OK.
