I recently bought a used Enforcer boat off ebay and I fired it up for the first time yesterday and I noticed after running it for a while that there is some junk comming out of the pipe.
Kinda oily silver stuff.
This is scary but the owner tells me there was a fair amount of after run in the motor.
Anybody have any input should I tear the motor down to make sure there is no leaks of water.
It does have the water going through the pipe collector at the end of the header but it is a dry pipe the water shoots out the side of the boat all the time.

Oil & general slime is normal with a 2 stroke ....
As too the silver [:-] that would concern me some !!

Oily silver stuff isn't a good sign. you could be looking at bad bearings, a bent crank, scuffing of the sleeve or other things.
Your best bet is to tear it down before running it any more.
The amount of after-run oil doesn't mean diddly-squat if it's bringing along little gifts like that.

By any chance its not an older sikk motor is it? reason i ask is they had some issues with the plating peeling from the cylinder walls you might wanna check it out.

Depending on how old it is, it could be a Homelite, 230 or 260 Zenoah unless somebody did drop a Sikk in it.

I was wondering if it may be because the boat was sitting for a while maybe the pipe seal is bad also.
I pulled the spark plug and checked the cylinder walls and there is nothing wrong in there and there was no signs of water leaking in there just a nice black look with shiny cylinder walls.
One of the head bolts was leaking when I first started it up I tightened that up now there is no water comming out of there either.
This does concern me cause a new engine is a couple hundered from BH hanson
