Well all this talk of oil and the fact I wanted to get out in my boat tommorrow for the first time this year, I decided to change my oil, well I removed my oil plug and to my dismay the only thing I got to come out was some frozen water! I called the service center in my area and they asked about my usage this last fall which consisted of alot of trolling in cold water, according to the service tech he has found a number of motors that run in cold water for extended periods had water in there oil. Needless to say I will not get out on the water tommorrow, I took it in so they could check it over. Mercury says this is normal and wont effect the motor, sounds kinda strange to me……any input???
