Background: went out fishing the other day, noticed water seeping from under cowl and after a bit had slight drop off in rpms on port motor. Heading 30 miles offshore decided it was fuel filter or just time for season maintence. Fished all day, heading back same issue. Engine started running rough only a few miles from port. Larger drop off in rpms. Found small hose near bottom of starter off and blowing water under cowl. Cleaned the engine off and put her away for weekend. Ordered parts for top end maintence (filters, plugs, tstats)
Issue: Upon completing maintence found some bad plugs with deposits, however depoits appeared to be fuel related due to color and texture. Decided to check oil and found water in system.
Results: At local Honda dealer now. They changed oil and peforned compression check. Have one bad cylinder at 30 psi, suppose to be 200psi. They are removing heads now to keep diagnosing. Will post updates as we go.
Figured I would post and this might help someone in future when i get to root cause. Might be asking you guys if there are any engines for parts or used out there you know of. Stay tuned.
