Just changed the oil again. Dang it takes a long time to vacuum it out! 3.5 quarts out. Ran the engine before to warm up. It starts and runs fine, no steam. After change still some gray sludge at the bottom of the dipstick. Boat does get tossed around when a storm kicks up out of the NE. Happened last month and broke my aft lines. May be the reason there is water in the crankcase. I could not feel any "weep hole" at the bottom of my water pump. There is a bolt in there that may be to drain. I am hoping to decrease the gray oil in the crankcase, but it probably does not take much to turn the oil gray again. Even then the engine was running fine on the gray oil in the crankcase. I don't use the engine all that much, but it would be nice if I could clear the oil.
