Re: 4.3 lx mercruiser
This all started by turning off engine while moving in gear. The engine dieseled and must have sucked in water. Would not start after after that because cylinders had water. After the water was pumped out of the cylinders it started and I found quite a bit of water in the oil filter. I figured that I would change spark plugs also since it has the original ones in it. It is a no no to shut off a boat in gear while under way and in a tight turn. The exaust flaps have never been serviced or looked at and even if they were perfect its still can suck water in. Thanks I just thought I would throw that in in case its ever happened to anybody else.
