I just had a rebuilt engine put in my Wellcraft boat. After having it out for only 2hours the boat started losing power. I tried to get the power I could out of it, but after 20minutes we trailered the boat. I took it back to the mechanic who installed it. He called me and said it was spark knock and that I had ran it too long. He said that the plugs were fried on the one side and the one head needed to be redone. I keep asking him what caused it in a brand new motor and he still can't tell me. He is claiming that I ran it too long and it is what messed up the motor, I am claiming there was something wrong with the motor in the first place and the intial problem is his fault. Do have merit? Also, how does spark knock only effect one side of a motor?
oh yeah its a 4.3 mercruiser motor.
Can someone set me straight here?
