Checked all my oil, everything seemed to be in order. Oil light stayed on for eight hours still ran perfectly. Got within 100 yards of destination then check engine light came on. Motor quit running shortly after (15 seconds). Towed boat back to dock tried to start it, would light off and quit immediately, like a code was stuck in the computer to shut it down if it started. Checked for water in the fuel--none. Checked for oil flow--okay. Took oil pump apart everything seemed in order. When forcing motor to run by revving to high rpms would run rough for about 15 seconds then finally quit. Also noticed when revving lots of smoke like motor was injecting too much oil. Boat stuck in Alaska...I'm in Portland. I have the twin to the motor here in Portland, with a blown head gasket. Took the computer off that one and am planning on sending it up to replace the other one. Don't know what else to try...Any thoughts or input would be appreciated....Thanks!! PS---I found out do not tow with this motor---too little, too late.</font>}"
