I am new to boats! Pretty much know nothing about them. Good idea to buy one right?!?!
I went to start my boat last week for the first time of the season. After winterizing it, I reconnected all my hoses, put my muffs on and started it up.
After it ran for a few minutes i turned the boat off, all seemed good.
Decided i would like to check charging voltage just to be safe. Turned my muffs on, and it took me about 2 minutes to actually get in the boat and start it.
Once i turned the key, the engine would not crank. Like it was locked up.
I turned the water off, engine started fine, ran good, turned the water back on and once again all seemed good.
But now i went to start it again and it seemed the engine is full of water, even getting into the oil.
I pulled the plugs on it and it seems to have water in a few of the cylinders, Ones with open exhaust ports is my guess?
My main question is what would cause water to get into the engine just being on muffs??
Haven't even had it in the water yet.
Thanks for anyone willing to help!!
