    UPDATE… Just called Tohatsu. They said the original Issue of Milkyness in Oil was probably from condensation BUT the 2 Quarts of Water coming out when I Pulled the Oil Plug was most probably from sitting UNCOVERED for a year and a half, in the Tilted Up position, which unbeknownst to me is a No No.
    Their recommendation… Change the Oil Run it in a Bucket for awhile and see what happens. Incidentally they said running with ears would burn up the impeller and said the preferred method is in a Bucket with a Hose running.
    THanks for the helpful comments and suggestions. I’ll Post the Outcome.

    This is the Main Motor and usually I just put/troll around. The LAke is only 50 acres so Wide open I’m on the other side in like 2 minutes. Then I just put along and fish.

    Thanks. Now that it’s out of the water having someone look at it will be easier.

    Thanks I’m unsure which Prop I have but it came with the motor. I’ll check it out

    Well about a year back it ran rough so I checked the oil and noticed it was “Milky” so I stopped running it. It just sat until now because I had other priorities medical and business. A week back I was on the dock and noticed an oil slick coming from my boat so I decided to pull it out, which took some work because I don’t have a trailer and it’s a Pontoon Boat. After getting it out I checked the oil and when I pulled the plug around 2 quarts of water came out before the Oil began to flow. I read about these things “Building Oil” due to condensation etc but this is nuttssss. The boat is on a small lake 50 acres so it rarely is run wide open usually I just Troll. Probably the worse use I could imagine for a 4 stroke motor but I had no idea.

    That’s exactly what happened. I have a problem , GOOGLED it and ended up here .

    I was hoping for help and NOT to be insulted.

    I have a 2018 20 HP Tohatsu Outboard. When changing the Oil today about 2 quarts of water came out before I started getting any oil . This seems like bore than a “little condensation”. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this? THanks
