OK, was having issues with engine stalling/sputtering when hot. Swapped ignition coils and problem followed the coil. Easy enough fix. But was out on open water and headed back to mooring to resolve. In the meantime, for some reason, this engine threw the serpentine belt and overheated. I limped back on one engine. Probably an hour and 2-3 miles. Went back out to boat later and saw bilge pump coming on every 30 seconds. Opened hatch to see water pouring in shaft seal of dead engine. Good times calling emergency pull out at 7PM Friday night. $$$. So, did i screw up by not securing shaft for the ride home and did I fry the seal? Have never dealt with this before and wondering what to do next. Please advise! Thanks
