I have a 2006 m30a4, owned since new. Recently a plastic bad wrapped around the leg and starved the motor of water. I noticed as the motor sounded rattly and I shut it down. When the boat stoped a lot of white smoke came out of the motor. After clearing the bag I restarted the motor, at first a lot of steam came out the back of the motor but then it settled down and ran normally .
I have done a compression test and got 150 and 148, so all good there. I pulled the leg off and inspected the water pump, again hardly any wear. The motor runs fine, it's as if the whole thing never happened.
So did I get away with this? Should I check anything else? Would I expect a shorter life from my engine?
Thanks
Daniel
