Help please! Hoping I didn’t screw up my motor

[Setec_Fl]

I was doing my pre season check out and the starboard motor showed it was over a quart low of oil, so I topped it off. Greased everything and finished the rest of the checkout. Hooked up the water line, started the engine, and turned on the water.
about 3 to 4 mins later, the exhaust started blowing smoke and oil.
I hurried up and shut off the water and then the engine. Rechecked the oil and it showed it was over 2 quarts above full!
I pulled the air filter and there is oil in the filter
I pulled the plugs and there is oil on the plug tips and I can see oil on the piston heads.

now I can’t even get the engine to crank over with the plugs out.

I can’t find a video on how to hand crank it.
What do I do?? Did I screw my engine?? Please help. Hoping I didn’t vapor lock the engine by shutting it off so fast but I don’t know what else to even try.

take your evacuation device and pull oil out of the sump until the oil is half way between full and low. Let it sit for about 15 mins and recheck the oil level. If it’s good try and roll it over again, with the plugs out. Are you sure you didn't leave the clean out tray Adar cutting off the starter ckt?

remove excess oil, wipe the spark plug dry (use brake cleaner or something to remove oil). Clean or replace filter and should be good to go.

Edit: when you start it with proper oil level, It will continue to smoke a bit until it get rid of the remaining oil, dont panic.

many people have over filled their oil with nothing more than bad performance and ruined air filter,

not sure why the engine won't crank over, I would go through the no start troubleshooting, my first guess would be in the excitement to turn off the engines the safety lanyard got pulled out,

I removed the excess oil. Cleaned the plugs and filters and fogged the pistons with starting fluid.
checked the lanyard, throttle is in neutral, had gf hold down swim deck switches. Still won’t turn over and I can’t find how to hand crank.
Going to check fuses next. Not sure why it started fine and now it won’t.

 

[Scottintexas]

it is unusual that it won't crank but I wouldn't worry about hand cranking, it's not water, it's oil, what's oil going to do to the top of the piston or cylinder wall,

I would close the swim deck hatch, don't trust her to push those buttons down (just trying to eliminate possibilities of human error), I don't understand how a fuse would have blown but if you're not getting a crank then you have to get out the multimeter and start tracing wires,

I have a multi meter. I checked the fuses. They are fine. I checked the swim deck latches they are fine.
I get the on signal when I turn the starboard key to acc. I hear clicks when I move to start but no turn over. If I hold key at start long enough, I get a long solid signal. I don’t see any signal error codes

Are the throttles in neutral and the lanyard in?

Did you check the fuse on the starter relay itself?

Yes

I checked the 6 fuses in the fuse box in front of the motor. All were fine. Is there a separate one for the starter relay?

I think there is… I could be wrong on your model year but have a look. I know some folks on here found out that was their issue.

,

are the clicks coming from the starter under the exhaust manifold, from the ECU or from the dash ??

clicking seems like you might have a battery charge issue or the solenoid,

@buckbuck do you recall what the fuse set up is on your boat? do you have a main fuse in the battery compartment like my 07 ??

[Scottintexas]

do you maybe have a fuse here ??

get some jumper cables and jump directly to the engine ground and the started terminal bypassing every thing else and see if it cranks with the plugs out then if it does work backward ruling out one thing at a time. be sure the battery is in good shape use the meter and when you hook the starter up to jump it directly from the battery see what it is reading should not drop below 10 volts under a load

very possible, Setec, did you keep the keep engage for any extended time ? in that link, beachbummer quoted that keeping the key engaged causes a large draw that damages the circuit,

 

[Setec_Fl]

Swapped starter relays. Took it a min to turnover but started thank god. New relay will be here tomorrow.
thank you all!!!

Now that you're running again... Was your boat on the trailer, or in the water when you checked the oil? Yours is older than mine, but on mine, the manual states to check the oil on the water, slightly warmed, and fill/remove accordingly.

Right at the full mark is too much for mine, but again, yours may be different. MANY have shown less than full is optimal for the oil level, as too close to full robs power.

Good experience, even though it rattled you a bit, the bright side is that you learned a bit more about your boat

It was on the trailer. So yeah stupid mistake. I’ll keep that in mind about the less than full.
Now I need to figure out how why there is corrosion on the engine bottoms. Looks like, somehow there is getting water in the engine compartment
