AQ280 water in drive oil

Hello guys,
I was out at the lake this weekend and when I parked in a slip at the restaurant, I noticed a small oil slick coming from the back of the boat. We had dinner and then cruised back to the marina. When I pulled the boat out, the drain plug screw was finger tight. (Dunno how it didn't fall out!) It must have come loose and allowed water into the drive. I have drained the oil and am wondering the best method to be sure all the water out. I currently have the fill screw and drain plug removed to let the drive drain out the milky oil.
I believe I caught the leak before any damage was done to the drive. It Functioned just fine,no odd noises, and the drive was cool to the touch when I got back to the marina. (I did cruise back which probably wasn't smart)

How can I be sure to get all the water out?

I would fill with oil run your prop and drain again.
Most likely there are only small traces of water in OD after you completely drain first time.

Took several oil change cycles to clean mine out. Ran for a couple of hours each time out to get it warmed up and drained when I got home. Was fine after two cycles.

Thanks guys!
A small dab of loctite will be going on the drain plug this time.
