Re: Force 85 hp steam come out of the exhaust

Steam coming out of the exhaust is normal. The colder the air temperature, the more steam. Pictures are kind of blurry so it's hard to tell if there's water on them. Looks like the white porcelain around the center electrode is carboned up equally on all 3 plugs, so that's a sign that they're all firing. Typically if you're getting water in a cylinder, that cylinder's plug will look almost brand new. The porcelain part will be white.

Is it overheating?
Test the temp sender and the buzzer.
Salt /fresh water? Profile/loction?
Running on the hose?
You'll see more smoke/steam on the hose.
