Head gasket or block rotten from salt water.

Thanks, head gaskets replaced this year.

Thanks, head gaskets replaced this year.

Retorque them to factory specs, if the motor counts with exhaust covers, replace both side gaskets for new ones and retorque them after some hours of use. Mating surfaces must be impeccable clean to seal properly and avoid water intrusion.

Happy Boating​

Foam cast block ...no exhaust covers. Make sure correct gaskets used, not 3L on 2.7L block

Forget what I posted above as for different forum. If your getting water in bottom cylinders most likely the divider plate or power head gasket blown.
