    You have a generator or did you spend all your money on the whiskey?

    TD-14 (Hurricane Milton)

    Ugh. My mom "evacuated" about 1 mile in in Nokomis. Didn't listen to me to GTFO. Going to be about the worst place for the surge. Helene wiped out all the dunes already.

    As @Scott06 said, check for a stuck gasket. I'd guess that without that gasket you'd get much more than a bit of water in the oil

    2006 Monterey Boat with a 4.3L Mercruiser TKS Engine S/N 0w354897 Mysterious Loss of Power

    Revving with no load tells you nothing. If there's water in the tank it's initially layered at the bottom and not necessarily picked up. As the boat bounces it gets emulsified in the gas and then sucked up. You stop and it separates out again. How does it get in? You're surrounded by water with...

    Why I do not have new boats.

    I suppose I might? Not a slam dunk though, and it still wouldn't be fancy. But it would have to be enough money that no matter what I did I couldn't spend it. Otherwise I have different priorities. 10 mill still probably isn't enough for that.

    Switch Box Suggestions

    Similar issue that I was chasing with a 25 hp all summer...Everything checked out with ohms testing, but voltage from the stator did not. I'd check voltages from everywhere before replacing the switch box.
