Hello iboats I am new here and could use some help. I recently bought a boat and after a couple of rides a couple of days ago i went on the lake and about 15 min. after i went out the motor started making an awkward noise (knocking sound) I turned of the engine. tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't. (seized). after getting towed back home I removed the spark plugs then tried to turn over and it did. Did a compression test and I get 120, 120, 30... obviously this is horrible.. but also oil is leaking from somewhere under the engine because after turning it over oil comes out of the casing so its visible from the outside. Also if i try turning it over around 5-6 times it may seize up, until i pull the spark plugs back out. Sorry if my details dont explain much, but I am new to boats, but good with car mechanics. 2 strokes are different to me but I'm understanding them more.
I am wondering if this a job that I could maybe handle, and also what could have caused this? I took each spark plug out and each one is letting off spark.
