Went to the boat today, a patio cruiser w/318 Chrysler V8 & it wouldn't start. No click or anything. The Marina mechanic came over to look at it for us, & without even checking anything, declares that it's flooded, then walk's away.
I couldn't even get it to crank over, how could he say it's flooded with out even trying it himself, I just thought that was rude.

After being on the Marinas waiting list for months, they finally found a spot for us to moor our patio cruiser. I had asked for a covered berth but we'll have to settle for this, oh well.

Another guy just came by & suspects that the starter solinoid may have condensation. I'll check into that.

Condensation....
Yea I believe so.
More like corrosion.
Replace starter, should be good

There just might be a little water in the gas too :crossx:

I'd check for condensation in the valve covers too.
you know what they say, an internal combustion engine is just a pump. :)

If it ran on water, that ol Dodge would be in heaven.

I heard Dodges really suck (in a pump application of course).

It was described to me as an "enclosed cooling system" & that I should keep the coolant level full. :)

Dodges suck in EVERY application.
They ARE pumps right?

You might want to think about adding a velocity stack.

A possible new signature addition :D
