When winterizing my 2001 215 EC yesterday to oil had a good amount of water in it. I hadn't used the boat in about a month and usually check the fluid before I go out and last trip the oil wasn't this color last trip. Not sure if it related but last trip out the boat could get on plain and felt like the prop hub was spun. RPMs sounded normal (tach can be unreliable bouncing around). I figured I spun the prop hub and would fix in the spring. We were fishing 1/4 of a mile from ramp so we shut down and then crept home at 3 knots. Now I'm think the lack of power was something other than prop. Mad I didn't investigate more at the time. I changed oil, fogged EFI and flushed with anti-freeze however I want to get the problem fixed own so any water that is still in there isn't causing more corrosion. Should I be worried or can it wait until spring? If I should fix now anyone know a good mechanic in RI, SE Mass area?
