This motor has been great since I bought it new, but I noticed small amounts of gasoline in the water when putting the rig in the water last season, or when the boat sat at a dock for a significant amount of time.
The motor ran fine all year, but when I winterized it last November . . . I had cloudy lower unit gear lube for the first time ever.
I'm not ultra mechanical. I know I need to change the fuel filter this spring. My brother-in-law recently wondered out loud "Could it be a head gasket?"
I am not sure what to think at this point, but am wondering if anyone in this forum has experienced this phenomenon . . . or otherwise knows what might be going on?
Much obliged in Minnesota (and still looking at snow on the ground);
