General question: I have a 97 Searay jetboat that has a mind/captain of its own.

Starts when it wants too, runs great when it wants too, etc

I have noticed that when I get off the lake, park the boat, then a few days later, when I want to go out again. I pop the hood and you can clearly see the moisture on/in the engine.

I was wondering if anyone used CRC wire dryer that you get from the auto parts store? If so, did it help you?

Given the other starting and water problems you've had, you can fill the engine compartment with CRC wire drier and your problems will continue.

It needs fixing, not ignored. Sorry to be blunt.

Prevent the moisture from getting in not fixing the issues it's causing afterwards.

That might be a tough one. It has a rubber seal around the deck lid. But, a little bit of water gets in the bottom regardless after using it. Maybe the seal is going bad.
