"I have a cuddy cabin with a 305 Mercruiser I/O. Earlier this year I did something real stupid and did not put the plug in my boat for about 5 minutes. It filled with water, but not over the engine, and would not start afterwards. I let it dry for a couple days then hooked the muffs up to it and it fired right up. I then threw it in the water and for some reason would not start. I brought it to a mechanic and he could not find anything wrong with it, except it was flooded pretty bad. He pumped that out, changed the battery connectiong, spark plugs, and oil and it started. He was not exactly sure which one was the problem. Last week I went down to my boat and the cover had collaped due to corosion on one of the poles. My boat had filled with water again from 3 weeks of heavy rain. Like before it started out of the water but once I put it in it would not start. Any ideas of whats wrong?"
