Here is a very simple way to prevent early engine death – Check the oil frequently and especially after the boat sits. If the level starts going UP do not start the engine! There is water in the sump lifting the oil. I had a ski boat that would gain a few quarts of water sitting for a week and we put a pan under the engine and drained the water out before we started it. Running it makes an oatmeal mush that does not really lubricate and wrecks the engine.
