    Have you changed your replaced your starter recently. I was given the wrong starter and it was spinning the engine the wrong way and hydrolocked the engine. It took me at least a full day to figure this one out. Because the starter that was replaced was having trouble spinning the engine just like the
    new one.
    Just a thought.

    To Bsmith: So, you were able to cure the hydrolock situation and the water entering into the cylinders and getting into the oil by replacing the starter? Just trying to understand what you're saying. I replaced the starter and the first trip out,
    after a couple of starts and stops, the engine hydrolocked and water was in the oil. Boat had to be towed in. Thanks for your help
