My boat is in the shop due to a dropped cylinder. Can anyone tell me how a cylinder drops? Can I prevent it from happening again?

A dropped cylinder usually refers to the loss of a cylinder performance, usually caused by a loss of compression, loss of spark, or a fuel problem. It's going to happen sooner or later to everyone.
