    Water in Oil

    Much appreciate your reply’s. Kinda giving me hope. Not banking on it but your logic is the way I think. I always winterize myself for eternity. Never an issue but knew I should probably check my stat but did not. Did all off season work, but not stat. Been in there for 5 yrs on yhe great South Bay.

    Water in Oil

    Louc. Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated. I did have hydrolock the night it happened when I went to restart after hanging at gilgo for a bit. Towed home. Fired up the next morning. Little rough at idle then cleared up when I increased rpm in neutral. Changed out oil and filter 2x. I...

I have been winterizing myself for years. Did I **** up?, a pressure test will tell me. Hoping for the best, but not sure......PS...

    Mercruiser 5.0 EFI 2001 with Idle problems

    Sounds like air maybe, I had similar issue and replaced the gasket on the throttle body and works fine now. They are cheap "cardboard" gaskets.

    Occasional backfire?

    Just had a re man 5.0 efi put in boat from my marina. I believe they did a great job getting in and sounds and runs smooth. At least I think. Taking boat home by water from marina was about 1.5 hr trip by water. I am following all the proper break in procedures for varying rpms. After about an...
