hi i have this 1983 evenrude the compression is good. when the boat runs slow it dose not smoke at all almost but when i run it fast for about 1 minute it smokes alot. a real lot. i had 2 mechanics look at it and they say its normal but they never seen it at a high rmp or even drive the boat. the water pump seems to work it spits the stream out and water comes from the exhaust. one time it stalled and i had to wait to restart it. the smoke seems to come from the lower unit and not under the hood maybe from exhaust.the smoke is white or grey. any help please send me an email. i used ringfree already. and again its not a small amount of smoke. thanks alot

A couple more questions.

Is this motor new to you ??
If not did it just start doing this or has it always done it ??
What ratio are you premixing the fuel to ??
Any recent work to the motor ??
Ever given it a decarb ??
Ever done a water pump service ??

The more history you can give, the better your responses will be.

have you done a compression check, white smoke means, water in a cylinder, could have a blown head gasket.

When it's smoking, did you check the cyl head temps with a laser temp gun to be sure it is not overheating?
