Hi all,
Appreciate your thoughts on this. Was running at wide open throttle today (13' Boston whaler) and I noticed I started to lose power, turned around saw the engine smoky so I cut it. Wouldn't start again, got a tow home.
I did a quick compression test when I got home and had:
1. 125
2. 100
3. 75
4. 100
Pretty miserable, my last cold compression test was ~120 on all cylinders. When I pulled the plugs at home they were all still really hot, probably ~45 minutes since the engine had run. It didn't sound like there was a problem with a piston through a cylinder wall or anything.
I'm planning on pulling the lower unit tomorrow to check on the impeller/water pump, but any other suggestions? Is this thing lost on bad compression, or do I have a chance to bring it back? Appreciate your thoughts and next steps for diagnosing what's wrong.
Thanks!
