Re: water ingestion through exhaust
Now were getting somewhere. This is my engine and I can assure you it was not sunk. Looking at the exterior of the motor there is no indication of corrosion. My theory is internal.
How long does it look like this corrosion has been there. Weeks, months, year and half? Does it look like the rust and corrosion entered at different times?
For water to enter through the exhaust, would there have to be something broken? From the exhaust side, would water somehow enter from the valves? Or would it possibly enter under the head gasket.
I am asking because this motor is under warranty and the local shop has accused my of submerging this motor. It's a kicker on a 21 ft Thunder Jet. My 140 HP is just fine. It if was submerged, my boat is at the bottom of the river. Honestly I haven't worked on the motor or abused it.
I'm just looking for reasoning and explanation for water entering on a chronic basis and malfunction.
Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it.
