T-Vinny  Flush the motor with fresh water , rabbit ears over the water inlet are the easiest method.

Chech the gearbox to ensure the oil is in good condition , if white then water is entering through one of the seals , most likely the main drive that operates the water pump.

If considering a service suggest Hewett Marine at Cowan.  They have been dealing with Merc's for many years & will give you a good idea of what , if anything is required to be repaired

The vendor should have spent some time to familiarise you with the basic maintenance tasks. I think I saw in another post that you bought it new from Mcgraths Hill. That right?
