Outboard Exhaust leak/Oil
Hey guys just to my new to me boat out on the water today. and I have a question...
A little background, 1990 Astro Quickfire 18FDX with a Mercury 150 XR4 I had the boat shop do a complete tune up and remove a "hotfoot" pedal that I don't care to have on the boat. When I pickeded it up the guy warned me that there is an exhaust leak on the motor and it may cause a little of what looks like oil. (actually the dirt from the exhaust being caught by water) So, back to today. I took the boat out and it ran pretty good, doesnt always restart right away usually by at least the third try. Now when I was done "Test" running her and reloading onto the trailer, I notice the black "oil" he had mentioned. My question is how much is too much before I should have the exhaust leak fixed? Here is a picture of how much came out today... 2nd question...How bad is this on the enviroment? Someone told me that "marine" oils are to be biodegradable...true? |
