"I first had water in the cyle

"I first had water in the cylenders while the engine was off and the starbord engine was in reverse, I pulled the plugs removed the water a week 1/2 later when I was told that water must have flowed into the cylinders thru the exhaust while it was turned off in reverse. so I put new plugs in and it fired right up after removing the water but I here a tinging sound like bad gas sounds like to me, any way it seems fine so I take it out for a run and there's a loss of power when a strain is on the engine"

"I hate to say it, but there's a strong possibility the engine has piston damage. water doesn't compress very well (though ten times easier than steel).

That sounds like the Rings Shattering against the Rust that's Probably now in the cylinders......

I'd say a Compression Test is in order......."
