Ok, the engine was recently serviced and was running great. All new parts installed.
I was cruising along at speed and then the engine died. Not suddenly, it ran down like it was out of gas. After a while of trying to restart it (I knew there was gas in the tank) I realized that the oil level in the oil tank was low.
Now the boat is in my driveway, and I put in a gallon of oil. I disconected the oil inlet to the VRO input and purdged out all the air and reconnected it. However the engine still wont start. Its cranks once then all I hear is the starter spinning. Any ideas???
Also, I just pulled all the plugs, all 6 are black and wet. I'm going to attempt to clean then while thr engine airs out.

Do the basics first. Check your ignition first with a spark tester set at 7/16" open air gap and then check the compression. Then look into your fuel system.
