Newbie to boats here. So last summer I got a 1990 bayliner Capri with a 50 HP force. It ran pretty good with a little bit of a mis. I had new plugs and a water pump put in her. Still mild miss. Well last weekend I changed the gearbox oil and my my, lots of water came out and then a little oil. I pumped it full of oil and then drained it to try and remove more contaminates and water then I filled it back up replaced the plugs with new seals and checked for leakage no problem. I took her out for a test drive and she started right up. (Still missing a bit) took off from the dock and she ran super super slow and everytime I hit a wake the engine would bog down. So I headed back to Marina and when I hit the no-wake zone i throttled down. At this point the force died and would not start back up. I got pulled the rest of the way by a huge ski boat. After I thanked the good simaritan for the tow I checked my fuel lines and had good flow of fuel and when I got home I pulled the carb off gave her a thorough cleaning and put new plugs in it. The starter still works it butt off to start the engine but nothing. Like I said before I am new at boating and so I have no idea what to do. Don't want to take it to the shop cause they are way overpriced( wanted 400 for a starter, I got one on eBay brand new for 80 bucks and installed myself last summer). Any help or ideas would be great. Thanks and have a great day
