I went to go out on the weekend, when to my dissmay engine would not start. After a bit of detective work its appears a fair amount of water had entered my fuel tank via the filler cap on the transom. I have a Quicksiver water seperating filter fitted in before the engine, only changed the thing 5 hours ago, but with the amount of water in the tank, it could'nt cope with it. I have now changed the filler to a better design which should have sorted it, also have a filter on order with a glass trap so you can see if there is any water in the system much sooner than when you break down.
Couple of Questions: Anybody had same problem with a 2 year old Pilothouse 620? Has any one used a Quicksiver water eliminator in the fuel tank. Tried to take out the plugs on a Merc 90hp 4stroke at sea, Not easy I'm sure.
Cheers Steve
