Water in Oil

[ESGWheel]

The old .....Fresh oil....Sell the boat ploy.
Oh well

Sure seems like it. The seller did offer a refund, perhaps a partial one is still available for the asking to offset some of the repair costs....

one more question are there certain things i need to do with motor after a day at the lake and is the propeller suppose to have 1/4 in free play

Yes propeller shaft until locked into gear will have in and out play.

this is why you always do a water test.…

tryto get it running soon put oil in affected cylinders , until you get it running. Once running get some inexpensive oil and keep changing it until it runs clean. You only need 3 qts in the pan keep changing it until it’s clean
