"Hello!
I´ve recently (32 days ago) purchased a brand new mercury optimax 115hp, 2007. Things were working fine until yesterday, all of a sudden it just runs on two cylinders and i need to get towed to shore. I pop the hood and remove the sparkplugs and notice two of them are filled with water instead of gasoline... Thinking back i can remember the engine smelling a bit of "burned paint/solvent" the first time i started it, but it might not have to much to do with it.
What could be the problem?
Should i have it repaired or return it?
Would you be totaly sure having it repaired, e.g. could the engine have taken any damage further?
Please give some help and advice to a man who knows nothing about engines!"
