Hey all

The other day, I replaced my oil line, pumped up the oil primer bulb real good. Then fired up the boat on muffs, everythign was fine like all summer.

Today I am walking around the boat and notice this oil??? You can see it int he picture...any ideas? is it major? did I just pump the oil primer too many times?

Most likely unburnt 2 stroke oil. Does it smell of gas ???

Yea it does kinda smell like gas...

This is a normal area for the unburnt oil to come out if I over pumped it??

Thanks

It is not uncommon for unburnt gas/oil mixture to drain from the exhaust.

Anything that does not burn off in the combustion process will come out of the exhaust. At lower RPM it does not need as much oil to lubricate.
