Water in the oil
Checked the oil and found it over full and the color of chocolate milk. Pumped off some through the dip stick and put it in a bottle. It did not settle out over night. This is a fresh oil change with only about 4 hours running time and boat had not been out on a run since changing out the starter. Did not check it prior to running it in the lift for about 30 minutes but checked after shut down. I did the trouble shooting and changed out the ECM, also changed out the starter & spark plugs myself, but do not think I will tackle this one. Looks like we are going to the shop. Interesting thing is that the old oil I pumped out during the oil change was a little dirty but did not have any water in it. I do believe after the engine is repaired I will have a very nice Z260 for sale
