So first off, my outboard has a tendency to kinda bog down and stop when your starting it cold. It would also take some time to get to full speed.
About a month ago we had it out on the lake for a week and it ran great with only that problem.
I recently took my boat out of the garage and put muffs on it to test it out and make sure everything’s running good. For some reason it seemed like it was idling harder and it wasn’t peeing so I immediately stopped it.
I only ran it for about 25 seconds and noticed the water coming from the motor was milky/creamy. I took out the spark plugs and noticed that only the bottom one had milky substances on it.
I also unscrewed the oil plug to see if the oil had water in it and the oil was pure and good.
I’ve heard it could be a blown gasket but I’m hoping it’s anything else.
I’m new to motors so any guidance would be super helpful.
Thanks
