I wanted to make a shorter, more to-the-point post about the issue I am having.

 

2007 150 speedster (only used in intercoastal salt water) is getting water in the cylinders ONLY when it is off and floating in water. What would cause water to flow into the cylinders this way? Again, if it i running, no problem. If it is on land, no problem. BUT if it is off AND floating in water, water gets into the cylinders. It has dies on us now 3 times in the past 2 weeks when we take it to a sand bar.

 

Any guesses? Thanks a bunch guys!

Check the rear of the boat just above the ladder. The gap between were the top mold and the bottom mold of the boat come together. You will probably have to take the molding off to see it. When it's in the water look for bubbles. Most of the time this area is above the water especially when the boat is moving but when it's not moving and waves push up to he area water enters. If this is the problem just go get some marine grade caulk and caulk as much of the gap as needed and fasten the molding back in place.

Dino, I will definitely try that next time we go out. We're trying to take the boat out today, but the weather doesn't seem to be in our favor. I'll keep ya'll updated. Any other suggestions would be appreciated...that way i can apply them on this next trial run we are going to do soon. Thanks!
