    Oil from exhaust port...

    Serial# 1B962471

    Winterized the 150 Opti Pro XS today. I poured the oil down the cylinder, once all oiled I turned motor over to distribute. I noticed some oil coming from behind the prop.

    Just the oil you put in the cylinders came out the exhaust ports and down, not an issue.
    1995 Allison XB-2003 225 Super Mag. It's slow and I'm ok with that.

    Interesting pic of your skeg, mine has the exact same mark and was on the skeg when I took delivery. Figured paint was rubbed away in the shipping carton.
