Basically I had a mechanic straight up try to rob me the other day when I brought my boat there.
The boat has been running great the past couple days. Then yes I took it out and it ran great for about 4 hours then after going through a very long no wake zone it started acting up again. Backfiring, not wanting to go over 3 or 35000 RPMs, just over all running like crap.
I get back to the dock and check the fuel water sep and its about 80% water and 20% fuel in there. I have already changed this thing 2 times in the past 3 months (since I bought the boat) and have never saw 1 drop of water in it. I have been changing it because there was a little bit of debris in there and I just wanted to get it out.
The boat is at a little less than 1/4 tank right now. I have never gotten it this low. I usually keep it at 3/4 to full .
Could this much water show up in the filter from me letting the tank get down to 1/4? Is it possible for the water to have not gotten into the filter till now either because the tank is low or because of some other reason?
If not then I bet the scam artist mechanic put it in there. I hope not because if this has been in there the whole time then this is most likely my problem.
