My personal ownership experience with this product has become dismal. I recently wrote about the "fast idle" which is inconvenient but relatively easy to compensate. A far more serious issue has surfaced. While out on a short trip across the bay I anchored near the town's dinghy dock and put the dink in the water, mounted the Lehr outboard then checked the oil, which was, observed through the site glass, milky white. The motor has less than 2 hours on it since first use a couple of weeks ago and I have no idea how water found its' way in to the crankcase, except that the head may be warped or cracked. I will be returning the Lehr to WM for a refund.
