TR-1 hydro locked- smoking after repair

[David Martin]

You are correct......and engine builder/create motor is far more likely to have less problem.......The problems in a dealer shop is that most times the guy that has the experience to do it right is not always the guy doing all the work. The main guy gets pulled off to solve other problems in the shop and other hand get involved in reassembly and before you know it some detail get Missed.

Well that's my opinion.

They found the solution it was simple, and you should be good to go out and enjoy........ caulk that one up in the learning collum. Thanks for the post you will help someone in the future.

Yes. It was crazy. We blew the water out, checked the oil for any intrusion (there was none), then we literally hauled ass around the lake to make sure we got it all out. At first I thought I had a dead battery until the starboard motor fired without a hitch. I even tasted the fluid on top of the pistons and all three were h2o. One more reason to carry a plug wrench.
