Water in Oil

[farkle15]

I checked the oil recently on my Honda 90 outboard and found that it was a light brown and a bit milky. After pulling the boat and draining the oil, we found that there was a lot of water in the oil pan and the oil pan was completely full. I'm getting a lot of water in the oil. Other than possibility of cracked engine block, are there any other possibilities for this that Hondas might be known for?

Re: Water in Oil

If the head gasket is blown water can contaminate the engine oil, or if the engine is primarily used in salt water without flushing I would guess a water jacket could corrode through and allow the water in. Submersion would be the only other suspect that I can think of. Has the engine been overheated?
