Thanks for the replies, I also have the spacers so all in all costs around 650ish per side all Sierra parts. Hopefully get everything installed and see how it does on the water.
Here’s a couple pics, they were pretty beat up. I was planning on replacing them and that’s when I found the watery oil and decided to try and diagnose that before throwing another 1k into it
Yes, you are correct. My starter was junk so I ended up replacing it. I have had to replace a lot of wires and switches lmfao. But would a bad exhaust manifold cause water to get into the oil pan? I’ve cycled two things of oil through it and it’s definitely thickened up like oil but it’s still...
I had a lot of water in the oil pan when I drained with an oil extractor. I left the boat drain plug in and it had rained a ton in central florida causing half of the motor to be submerged. It sat like that for about a week or so before I noticed. The boat has never been ran hot other than one...

Yes, the silver bolt
Edit: Also if that's the case, why does the other manifold not look nearly as bad? when i took out the drain plug the water did not look milky, it was until that bolt blew off that I noticed the sludge, I pumped the oil out from the dipstick (the dipstick actually didn't...
