I know that there is defenitly water in this oil, but my question is does it appear to be ALOT of water?? I have seen some ppl's pictures where the oil was solid white! So in my case, does it appear that my water intrusion is ALOT? This pict. is about 20hrs or so with the boat in the water. Thanks!

A lot is when it settles out in a layer in the bottom. Seriously, any water in the oil after only 20 hours is evidence that you have a leak that will only get worse. You can fix it or you can keep changing the oil. Eventually you will have to fix it or lose it.

What does it matter if it's a lot or a little?

You're looking for NONE.

A little bit of water is like being a little bit pregnant.

yes, it's a lot of water. if you didn't change the drain & vent plug gaskets last oil change, do that first, take her out for a test run. If you're still taking on water, your #1 suspect is shift rod o-ring, also the easiest to change - four screws, one gasket and one o-ring. If you have an air compressor with a gauge, pressurize the l/u to 12-15 PSI, submerge it and look for bubbles.
