I figured it was from the bearing. It was the only thing in the engine that was bad. Cyl showed some wear but compression was decent. It will be replaced any-way along with the piston and rod. So, other than after run oil, what would be the end-of-the-day procedure to follow. I know it had a few "dunks" and may have ingested water but I would pull the plug and run some fuel thru it. Followed up by a dry run, you know a slow mid-range run down the river where it is less likely to suck any more water. I always pull the pipe and make sure it is clean and dry. I would like to figure out how to get the intake to where it isn't so low and apt to get water but haven't figured that yet. This thing had set for quite a while befor I got it. I probably put three or four good run days on it befor I pulled it down and found that mess. As good as this boat runs I don't mind at all to take the time to maintain it like I should and would if I just knew what it was that I was not doing. I don't run the high nitro fuel by the way. So far I have only ran 15%nitro and 18% oil in it. I did get some 60% and some 40% from the friend that gave me the boat but I haven't seen the need for it. This thing will move out with the 15% and I don't race. There isn't any-one here to race with. Just me and my son takeing turns and grinning at each other.
