Hi - I have a 1999 40hp Johnson pull start. It sat for 4 years until this spring. I've started the motor and it's running well. My concern is the water discharging from the prop exhaust port is cloudy. The water discharging from other ports is not. I've let the engine run for over 30 minutes to see if the cloudy water would clear up but it does not. Any idea's on what may cause this condition?

Cloudyness can be caused by exhaust (smoke, air and oil) mixed into the water. The other ports do not have exhaust mixed in

Sounds like a normal condition then. Thanks.
