'04 225hp 4-Stroke Gas in Crancase

[kcmercedes]

I have a pair of '04 225's and noticed when checking the crankcase oil level, there was gasoline in it. Several of my boating friends with Yamaha 115-225's are experienceing the same problem. Obviously this can't be good.

I've heard everything from tilting the motors when not in use, thermostats too cold, computer not set correctly, not using Ring Free, etc. etc.

Anybody know the real deal on this problem ? THX
