I'm not sure but my mechanic says that the Mercruiser 3.0 liters tend to do that if you don't turn them over once every 3 months or so. Since mine was laid up since Dec. perhaps that's what happened. I was told to fill up the cylinders with Marvel's Mystery Oil and leave it for a few days. I did that today and will be back from the USVI on Wednesday so we'll see if that does the trick.

Oh well, but the good news is that the wife agrees that we should repower her soon so I'm starting to look for deals! Let me know if you know any Mercruiser dealers with good prices.
As for the tournament I accept the invite. Let me know what to bring besides the fishing gear. Thanks!
