    Turn the boat, kill the engine.

    I used to have long term issues with crimp connectors and heat shrink tubing with corrosion being the issue. Then I found that applying a small amount of diaelectric grease into the heat shrink tube before shrinking it fixed all that. Been over ten years since I started doing that and O issues...

    Turn the boat, kill the engine.

    I would, leaving any water in there will only attract more water. You can try sucking some fuel out and testing it. Water sits on the bottom, so any fuel sucked out needs to come from the bottom !! Let some sit in a clear container for a short while and see if any water seperates out. Do...

    In our city, the entire river is a slow no wake zone and well patrolled by local officials. Busy...very...but most folks have been decent. We hate crowds and prefer the privacy our boat gives us. And we get a much better view of the fireworks !!
