150 Optimax problem?

[cygnus]

I dragged the boat out of the garage today. It has been sitting since last fall. I lowered the motor all the way down and some water leaked out down by the prop. Mixed in with the water was some bluish green fluid which I am guessing is injector oil? We are only talking about maybe 1/4 cup of total fluid. Concerned, I drained my lower end oil and it was nice and gold with no water mixed in, just like when I put it in last year. Is this oil just residual that was in the exhaust and just mixed in with the water? Or do I have a bigger problem?

Thanks!

I don't think you will have a problem, BUT, did you store it with the motor tilted up or lowered all the way down so any water could drain out of it???

Sounds like my ETec. Took it out for the first time on opener and it fired up just like I already had it running that day

Yaaawwwnnnn. Just like my 115 Yamaha has been doing every spring since 2002' I turn the key and motor running before I can let go.
