I tend to agree with Dennis. The 9.9 Tohatsu on Bell weighs around 80 pounds. The dock is about 18” to 2’ above the transom. I put a safety line on the motor (in case I dropped it), sat down on the edge of the dock, and just pulled the motor up off the mount and slid it onto the dock. Not

Tom, One thing you might try is to is to see what type of smoke you're getting. Burning lubricating oil tends to be blue/white, which indicates your might have excess oil splashed up from the crankcase to the cylinder walls. Some splash is normal, that's the way the rings are lubricated,

Re: Stus-List Diesel question

Only time will tell.  If it starts using a lot of oil you know that there is damage to the engine.  I would check the oil each time you go out to see if it is burning oil.  If the oil level does not change you were just burning off the excess oil.  BTW, how much did you over fill on the oil?

Re: Stus-List Diesel question

Minor I can't remember where I heard it but as I understand it mid to low is better than full. I guess these (Yanmar 3GM/HM) engines are more likely to carry over oil into the combustion as the oil level goes up. Same thing happens when you overfill cars and my lawnmower. My lawnmower runs
