So yesterday I was getting ready to head out. Started up the boat, all sounded good. Had to run to the store so shut it off 15 minutes later and it dieseled down. Trie to start right back up and motor was bound. After checking a few things, decided to pull a plug to see if there was water in cylinder. Totally Flooded.
Turned out to have water in all 4 on port side and one cylinder on starboard side. Luckily, no water in oil at all. Don't think it overheated at all so I don't think its a headgasket. What are the chances or both risers going at the same time though? Going down today to pull risers and manifolds off. I'm hoping that's the only issue.
Motor is a 5.7 Merc. I just took ownership so don't have many details on it.
