Hello everyone i'll get straight to the case. i have a 1987 bayliner capri with a 2.3 liter Ford Engine with a cobra outdrive. this boat has not been ran in 6 years ok? the last time it ran it ran great up unto the point where we were on the river going about 20mph and we hear a pop not very loud then the engine dies. we fire it back up and put it in gear and the max speed it would go is 5 mph and the RMP would be around 1k. since then the boat has sat 6 years later i come back to find the boat uncovered and the engine exposed to all the weather for 6 years so yeah i am now replacing that engine. I have not opened up the outdrive yet to see if any gears were shreddered. Now get this when the boat was running out of water with the ears on everything ran fine it was going about 35 MPH and RPM was between 2-3 but once you put it in the water it doesn't want to run what could this be please this was my grandpas boat before he died i really want to get this running again
