I know we were being silly -so leave the side comments at the door -JK

I think the smoke is normal ,right . Maybe just need to get a Fresh Air Exhaust . Unless I am wrong

That’s water vapor from the water in the exhaust manifolds basically boiling and creating vapor. It’s normal. Usually worse when it’s colder out.

I have a 15 Mojo Surf and it does the same thing. I believe that’s normal and it’s just steam from the exhaust

If it is just steam that's good to hear so do you think getting a fresh air exhaust pipe would move it back further?

Hey George... this is Patrick. If you did the FAE, it should be gone altogether. Our last boat in Colorado did it alot, installed the FAE and honestly never saw it again.

Water vapor in water = water.

Mine does the same. I thought it was just engine exhaust but water vapor makes sense.
