Hey guys, new to the forum.
I recently purchased a 2001 225 Rude Ram. no idea of the hours, but the previous owner had not used it much. First up, he has been running it with no tstats and the covers are stuck!
Second, either on the hose, or when i launch the boat, the no. 5 cylinder fills with water and stops the motor....and on my final run in the sea, the motor locked up and somehow broke the CPS...
I had not known of the water in cylinder issue before hand, I just replaced the cps, went to check compression (which is still 123- 130 across cyls.) and drained the water. Motor starts right up, but if left for too long on the hose water gets in.... PLEASE help!
it's a e225fhlsig 2001 Rude Ram
