Okay here is the situation, I replaced my impeller, and then the engine wouldn't turn over. Checked the battery, got a couple of jump chargers, checked spark it was fine. But still nothing.
Gave the boat to the local shop and they checked the fuel pump, they said the cylinders were wet, they dried them out changed spark plugs and told me they had it running. It sat for two weeks and I changed the oil, waited another week and a half and put it in the water..... And... Nothing!!
The engine still cranked, had spark, we used ether but still no light off. Pulled a couple of plugs and they looked dry. But the mech had them back in before I could get a real good look at them (to see if they had been used).
The guy I bought the boat from is fairly livid, as the same shop jacked up a trailer repair that they charged him $500 for, and then said it wasnt their fault. I wish I had spoke to him first.
Has anyone had this issue or can tell me something else to look for? The boat hasnt been out in almost 5 months and the shop asked me when was the last time I had it out, what a laugh. I told them that they were the last to allegedly hear it run.
