My fiance droped our boat off last week to be winterized, we have been bringing it to a guy that works from his home, he is a certified mech., used to work at Mn.Marine, it is a older boat with an 120 merc cruiser (IO) we do not have a garage to put it in so we had a elec. heater in the boat and had the boat covered.
So he calls the next day and says the boat is done, then a hour later he calls and said he took a look at the oil and there is white foam in it which means there is water in it and the block must be cracked then says he has a motor he will sell us.
What I would like to know is there any other reason there would be water in the oil, and should we get another oppion?
I find it odd he would check the oil after he winterized it.
I would like to think we can trust him ,we have been bringing our boat to him for about 3 years now.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
