    Hey guys, noticed a little more smoke this season then last. It’s a very white smoke. I have a picture but it’s doesnt seem to want to load.

    My opti never smoked like that.
    Now my promax smokes and will
    choke you.
    Seriously 8 years and I don't remember
    seeing any real smoke.

    Looks like steam to me. Does it dissipate or does it trail off for a while? If it's smoke it'll hang in the air for minutes and have a blue tint to it. My 175 steams on a dry 90 degree day. Had me concerned at first but then I realized it was just steam. Also on cooler and humid days it may steam more.

    Ever see your car/truck exhaust on a cool morning? That's what the picture shows.

    It disappears after a few seconds. It has a slight smell of exhaust, not much and only does when motor is warm.

    There you go.... just water vapor especially when you say when it's warm.
