"Good evening,

Earlier today I started my 2003 twin BF 200 for the first time since putting it away last fall. Before putting the motors away for winter I have fogged the engine, changed motor oil, lower unit lube, drained water and for a good measure used compressed air to blow out any excess water.

I checked all the fluid level before starting them up. The engines started up just fine but the telltale flow was slow going at first but evetually its flow was strong. After shutting down the motors I checked the engine oil again. This is when I noted the engine oil was slightly milky. Suspecting water contamination, I drained the engine oil out immediately. Both motors drained out opaque light brown(like coffee w/ milk) oil w/ occassional streaks of white.

Where do I go from here? Any advise would be appreciated.

Regards,

yhc"

"Thanks Just-in-time,

It worked out after refilling the oil and running it again...clean engine oil.

I second Roisland's question...why? Is it just from condensation over the past few months?

Regards,

"I too have water in my engine

"I too have water in my engine oil. After changing the oil, and running the engine, water has again penetrated the oil resevoir. Could it be a faulty gasket?
Thank you in advance for your help."
