Removing water from mercruiser crank case
Posted on 4/22/12 at 8:24 pm

Bilge got flooded and got water in cylinders and crank case. Pulled the plugs and compressed water out of cylinders. Changed oil and filter once but oil still looks like chocolate milk. Anyone know of a good way to get the rest of the water out? Also need a recommendation on a good oil pump, mine is very slow. Thanks.

Oil changes with seafoam or some other kind of dehydrating additive to help pull the water out.
Like drop4loss said, salt water most likely equals destroyed motor.

Luckily it's fresh water. Apparently my cover has a hole and the drain plug was in so I'm guessing rain water flooded the bilge and got in through the dipstick. I'll try the seafoam.

I would disconnect as many as your elec connects as possible.
Clean real good, sandpaper, spray with Corrosion X
