" My boat's motor - while

" My boat's motor - while starting fine- can't get the boat moving above approx. 5 mph despite opening up the throttle. Additionally, the engine is giving off quite a bit of smoke, think and white. As you may have guessed, I am a novice. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, any pointers on straightening a bent steering shaft? "

a compression test followed by a spark check would be the first thing to do. Also check the spark plugs for signs of water entering the engine.
