Hi, I just purchased a new Yamaha 25hp motor Sat for $3020. I ran it for 30min on the river and when I loaded it up I noticed a black oily film on the foot above the prop. This is where the foot seam is, or where you lower the foot. The leak is on the back side(it's about 2" wide) it goes all the way across. (if you look at the motor directly from the rear.
I'd like to know if this is acceptable for a brand new motor. I'm nervous about it wearing a bigger passage and leading on to other problems like getting water in the lower foot oil.
Thanks to everyone that helps with this question,
Jamie
