White Smoke

[atticus3600s]

I went and started up my 1992 25 horse evinrude and when I was returning to the dock I noticed that there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Does this mean there is water in the gas or is it like a car where water vapor will come out of the exhaust on cold mornings? The air temperature was maybe 65 degrees and it was raining at the time I ran the engine. Is this something I should worry about or is this a common occurrance of no concern?

Re: White Smoke

atticus, Under those conditions you were likely seeing steam or condensation.

Okay, hopefully its condensation, to find out I will try it when its warmer out.

But at the same time, keep an eye on engine temperature just in case and make sure your overheat alarm works....
