Over the winter I found out that my block had cracked from not completely winterizing the motor. I have replaced the motor with the old style Penta 5.7 (Red/Orange) it came with the Holley 4 barrel carb. I know a lot of the accessories that were on my 2001 are not used on the older one. That being said I did a lot of research on the wiring harness making sure I had all of the correct connections. I have taken the boat out multiple times with 3 out of the 5 being towed back to the boat ramp once out on the water. The motor starts great when it is on the trailer and cold. I have noticed that it does not like to start when it has not been running for a while out on the water. I have been trying to look up on the forms for similar problems but I have not been able to find a topic. Here are some of the things I think it could be or if it is something else please let me know. Vapor lock which I think it from air getting in the carb or Coiler for the spark plugs. Do the coilers go up after so long? is there a way to test them. Any and all input is appreciated!!
