An update for those possibly experiencing the same thing: cylinders 5 & 7 failed compression test (readings were 50 and 0). We need a new long block on the starboard engine.

Thanks for your input. No disrespect taken. I am relaying the information I have been given. I am not a driver or mechanically inclined, nor do I know much about our newly purchased boat. That would currently be my husband's role (for now) and I am trying my best to learn everything I can...

Had a mechanic come and replace plugs, cap, rotor. Still a miss. Says it could be the cylinders and or fuel Injectors. Any thoughts?

We started the boat up for the first time since that incident and noticed a rhythmic chugging sound from the starboard engine when in gear. The starboard engine cut out multiple...

Unfortunately, we found out only after our purchase that the previous owner only changed a battery in the 9 years he owned it (he only drove it about 2 hours each season). So, my guess is that the last time the boat was serviced (except for the things we have fixed since) was when he bought it...

No screeching when the belt is off

The accessory bearings all seem to spin, except the sea water pump.

@scoflaw Oh boy. If in fact the water pump I should be calling in the pros? Sounds expensive and intimidating

No. No water.
