Clean out plug blowout and engine flood. Help!

[Jmpicking]

Only if *completely* dry. If not, I would run without.

If they don’t completely dry out should I get new ones. I can’t see through them, I feel like I should be able to see light through them.

Filter Off for now is fine. Can you get pictures of the plugs where they show to have broken a little? EZ-Locks are great, no more blow outs for me.

This is for later... Cobra EZ-Locks

If you have any water in your oil add 1 pint of Dextron 2 transmission fluid to the oil as it will work as a catalyst to mix the water with the oil and make it easy to remove all the water with an oil change.

Bought EZ locks before I had my boat lol

Me too thanks to this forum.

I hope you get the boat running great again. This forum and its veteran members know their stuff.

Yeah the best thing is your not alone and there is years of experience chiming in

I don’t have an adapter for a hose, for water source any suggestions with that?

Try a water balloon filler nozzle. Some of them will fit the Yamaha water fittings.

Aright thank you everyone. I officially have both engines running.
Both air filters are wet with possibly some oil on it.
1.The oil on both engines look normal.
Just wondering wouldn’t the water settle on the bottom of oil compartment, or would the dipstick definitely show cloudy. Should I just drain a little oil to check?
2. Also, one engine has a little higher pitch than the other one which is deeper, does this mean anything?

Thanks man , found an adapter nearby , but that’s a good idea

If you can run them till they are fully warm I would check the oil then and see. But to be on the safe side I would do at least 1 oil change

I have extra, but my boat is two hours away from me and 4 hours from you.

So run it first for a bit then check the oil, then change it regardless?

 

[Evil Sports]

Im only gong on what you say about the oil looking good right now. If it has any milk in it it needs to go right away before you run it to full warm up

 

[Jmpicking]

Great thank you, gonna start it with freshwater running through hose, let you know asap

Please remember!

Start Engine, then start water.
Stop water, then stop engine.

Otherwise, you will be doing this all over again!

If oil is in your air filters then you will need to buy new ones and if water went into your oil it will raise the oil level and get oil into your air cleaners so I would think you have water in the oil, MR1 engines have the crank case breather in front of the air filter element and if people overfilled the oil during oil changes this would put the excess oil into the filter and ruin it, so either you had too much oil in the engines in the first place or you sucked in water and that is the most likely situation so be careful running it overfilled or with water in it if that is the case.
This has been difficult to figure out since I thought you already had the plugs out and the engine was refusing to turn over with the plugs still out That was why I thought your pump or your starter were stuck

Thank you for your help. I apologize for the confusion. But the engines are now starting just waiting to get an attachment ( the one I just bought was wrong one) for the hose to run the engine on.
You’d think there’s water in the oil, but somehow the oil is cloudy.
Would you suggest emptying a little oil , before even trying to run it with the hose for a few minutes?

 

[Beachbummer]

Do you have an oil extractor? You will need more than one oil change to get rid of all the cloudy oil/water mixture. More oil and less water is good. empty what you can and replace what you can.
