i have a 2007 crownline with a 350 mag MPI. It has 90 hours on it and seems to run perfect. It has corsa silent choice exhaust with cutouts on the side. Here lately I have been seeing exhaust smoke at idle, but only on the right side. There is for sure exhaust coming out of both sides, but like i said i see smoke frome the right side. It does not seem to be oil smoke and doesn't really have a smell that i can tell. It also dissapates very quickly. If it were both side I wouldn't worry, but since it is only one side I am wondering what might be causing it?

blue = oil
black = gas (rich)
white = water

It's steam.Nothing to worry about.
The cooling water will go the easiest way out.If the impeller is old or weak it might not be pumping as much water.J
