    Anyone ever used home vinyl floor for boat floor?

    Lower unit oil is milky white. Plugged lower drain plug and screwed a leak test (with a gauge) hose on the top hole. Sent about 10 psi through the hole and noticed that air is leaking from the exhaust. Confirmed it with soap water. The prop shaft seal is good. Outboard is a jonhson 50 HP...
