Recently launched but haven't cruised due to weather. When I start up the beast and run it in neutral it exhausts a significant amount of white smoke together with leaving an oil slick. "Useless" manual indicates the white smoke is caused by having too much oil in the engine. Dip stick shows the oil at the proper level.
Any thoughts on causes and corrections.
Have a great day.

Joeh,
Consistently or for a little while? I have white smoke for 10-15 seconds this year. I've read that this is not unusual.

Thanks John for the quick response. Took the boat out Sunday for the 2009 shake down cruise, everything seemed to clear up. On another subj. I've tried to get some info. on dwgs. However the sight tells me I don't have the required permission to read docs. What do I have to do to get the said permission. I'm especially interested in the pump out to sea plumbing.
Thanks.
Joe H
Thanks.
