The other day boat began to run bad.Burnt #2 plug pretty bad.There was I thought carbon build up on on plug but now im thinking it was peices of metal seized to it.I have very little compression on that cylinder with a metal to metal grinding noise every so often turning the fly wheel by hand.Took a flash light looked in cylinder noticed piston was pitted with some peices of metal behind cylinder wall. I know its trashed just want to know what may have caused this.Alarms worked a month ago but this time no buzzer alarmed at all. Thanks if you have any info.

With out an alarm going off, best guess would be a fuel restriction. Dissassembly will be necessaryu to determne the cause.
