"I have a merc 115hp 4 stroke
"I have a merc 115hp 4 stroke efi. It smokes when I start it up. Not alot, but a few puffs and then it runs fine. I've been told that having the motor trimmed in causes oil to seep past the rings and that its perfectly normal for a 4 stroke to smoke at startup. When I leave it tilted up a bit, no smoke. Any opinions? Do I have a problem or is Merc right in their explanation?"
