So it's an old 1995 bf50 and new to me. Has not smoked before today. I changed the oil and filter according to the owners manual and supplies from my local marina. Before I started the motor I had it tilted all the way up to service the prop and shaft. I lowered it back down, put the muffs on and when it fired up there was an instant cloud of blue smoke. I was going to run it for a few seconds to get the oil to the filter and then top it off.
I wondered if having the motor at full tilt during the oil change could have anything to do with this condition. It ran for about 4 seconds and I came right to you folks before I try restarting it. Old guy who loves his ol' smokers. Sleds included. I havent even had this boat on the lake yet and we're off to bad start. lol
I appreciate any input. Thanks to all.
