I was hoping for some advice from some Donzi Owners. I picked up a 2005 Donzi 28 ZXO about 3 weeks ago. The engine is a 496 mag has about 130 hours on it. The last few weekends, I noticed some smoke coming from the back of the boat when I started it and when shifting between forward neutral and reverse, especially this past weekend when the weather was in the 50's. The smoke seemed to go away once you get under way.
My first thought was the engine might be burning oil so I checked the oil, but it seems to be fine and is in the OK range according to the dip stick. Is this type of smoke common with Donzis or boats like it? This is my first boat of this caliber, so I am unsure what to expect. Any advice/explanations would be greatly appreciated as they would put my mind at ease. Thanks for your help.
