Hello new here to the forum, just been reading through the FAQ area, looks like there is a lot of information on this site. A buddy of mine gave me a boat an '86 skeeter with a 150 Evinrude V6 identification plate : E150STLCDC. One cylinder has low compression (55) all others are around 105 -110
I've never worked on marine engines but I'm very mechanically inclined and have experience with rotaries and all kinds of automotive piston engines, so I'm sure I can figure it out.
My buddy that had the boat before, said sometimes the boat would run great like nothing was wrong, and other times it didn't have enough power to get on plane.
He said he tried running sea foam through it, so I'm guessing there is ring damage. Been trying to research as much as I can so I can go about fixing the engine.
