Have 1999 FourWinns 33' E

Have 1999 FourWinns 33' Express Cruiser with Volvo 5.2L I/O engines. Demo boat had 32 hours on engines. At 70 hours the port engine ingested water. At 85 hours the starboard engine ingested water and again at about 100 hours. Dealer has removed the 4 exhaust flaps per 2 year old service bulletin from Volvo. Neither my dealer nor a second Volvo service center have been able to determine the cause of the problem. A friend has the same engine and ingested water. Volvo blamed this on his engine backfire. Volvo provides lousy customer service.

" I am responding to my initial message about water ingestion in Volvo engines. They are not 5.2 liters as originally listed but rather 5.7 liters, 250 hp with carbs.
