MASSIVE HONDO TWIN 90 PROBLEMS 2008 EFI

All started in June with water in port engine starter due to leaking verticle shaft seal.

seal was replaced plus new starter ..... same thing happened 200 hrs later.

these engines are run 4 hours a day at WOT = 120 plus hrs a month.

Port engine blew plug 50 hrs ago .... was helicoiled.

Starboard engine has now started to get water in the starter .

Port engine is now leaking oil from the top of the engine.

I am not where the engines are so this is a long distance diagnosis.

Suspect that the crank bearings on both engines are toast ...

Any ideas ? local Honda guys are not cooperative !!!!

Thanks !

Spoke to a couple of marine mechanics .... they say no one buys Honda for commercial ops ...all the fishing lodge operators on the BC coast run Mercs.

Anyone have similar problems with Honda ???

thanks
