[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 418060, member: 7076"] Did you pay attention to which side it was laid down on when transporting?? Most 4-strokes have to be laid down on one specific side to prevent the oil from migrating into the cylinders. Is it possible it was on the wrong side for a short time? I'd drain and replace the oil and run a compression check. If both look good, then let it idle for about 10-15 min on the muffs. I'd make sure to have a backup plan to get back to the dock the first 10-20 min of running on the water. If the smoke has already gone away, I suspect that during the handling, that some oil may have gotten into the cylinders. If it doesn't continue to smoke, you should be fine. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
