Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated ..
Took boat out bout 20 times with no issues..
Last time out, on my way back in engine started smoking(white smoke)..
Pulled cord.. Ever since it won't start up again.. It cranks and will start up for literally a second or 2 but that's it..
Btw this happened in shallow water.. Some shitty foul water on Long Island to be exact so don't know if that had somthing to do with it. Nothing stuck by intake.
I changed spark plugs,, did oil change. No help.
Brought to shop..
He says there's no compression..
That it needs rebuilt engine cost 3500$!!!
That seems ridiculously steep to me..
So wanted to ask if that seems like a reasonable problem considering what happened..
Could that have caused loss of compression..
Can it really need 3500$ worth of work after riding ok for so long..
Does it really cost that much?
ANY INPUT would help..
Thanx in advance..
Bill
