New to the forum so sorry if this has been asked before. I have a 2005 Suzuki DF70 with only about 150 hours. I am the original owner and the motor has been maintained and flushed since new.
I had to change the low pressure fuel pump because gas was getting into the oil and the pump diaphragm did have a small crack in it. Took the boat out striper fishing (trolling quite a bit). Came home and flushed the motor using ear muffs (as always). Decided to check the oil and found the level to be about 3/4 to 1 inch high on the dipstick and milky. Did not smell like gas. I drained the oil the next day and the first ~1 cup looked like water before the milky oil came out. Flushed the engine with fresh oil and it appears to have gotten the water out. I haven't had the boat back out.
I removed all the spark plugs and all looked good. No water or rust. I have inspected the externals of the engine and it looks almost new. No external corrosion.
Are the 2005 DF70's susceptible to internal corrosion of the engine holder like some of the 90's and 140's are? What else could/should I check short of taking the engine apart?
Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help.
