Engine Smoke

[Mystic1906]

Was flushing my engines yesterday and noticed smoke coming out of both of them. Just wanted to know if this amount seems excessive. Maybe to be expected out of my 3rd hand 2007 boat but not a brand new 2017 with less than 20 hours. It has had its 10 hour service and this is the first time I am running it since the service.

Am I being paranoid?

Were the engines up to temp? Looks like you had the water running through the flush out, could it have been steam and exhaust? Were the engines fogged as part of the service?

I was flushing the boat when this was happening but the engines were running at idling speed. They said they fogged the engines as part of that service yeah.

Probably just the rest of the fogging oil cooking off.

Good to know thanks. Was concerned for a minute there.

Yeah mine smoke the first time out every year after fogging the motors... It burns off...
