it was running great i used it all spring and the first of the summer. when i put the boat back in the water on the fourth of july it would not run on all cylinders when i got home i took a look and there is water getting in nomber four i dont know where it is coming from. the gaskets on the ext plate were leaking so i replaced them and it is still doing the same thing
