First, I want to thank all of you for your great responses to earlier posts. <br /><br />Last fall I put my boat up in good running condition. This spring I had water in my #3, well, a milky semi slick liquid.<br /><br />Last yeat when I winterized, my boat was level when hooked up to hose and running, this spring I had the trailer nose wheel extended up a far as it would go and blocked up even higher to help with rain run off during the spring rains. Canvis was on and drain plugs removed, everything stayed dry.<br /><br />Would having the motor so much lower than the front of the boat allow for water to route itself thru the exhaust and into my cylinders when I turn on the hose?<br /><br />I'm ready to pull my motor out and check for internal damage. Then the light bulb went off, is there really a problem or am I the cause by having the bow much higer than the stern when trying to start the motor??
