motor
i have a 1988 mercruiser with a 200 hp engine I think it is a 305 chev it will not turn over the battery is hot and has full charge when I bump the starter the engine tries to turn I have had the boat running a few weeks ago for first time this was surprised it fired right up put in lake and ran good for about 30 min. the motor shut down upon decelerating the engine after a while finally got it started but it acted like was trying to lock up . figured we had fuel problem since the boat was bought last year and run very little and we did not know how long it had been since fuel system had been maintinced drained and clean tank replace water separator filter (filter had lot of water in it) cranked engine for vary short time and ran ok.. went to go to lake to test it out and found the motor would not turn over
