Hey guys im new to the site , just purchased a 99 key largo 17' center console and all ready having issues ....

Oil injection issues , no oil alarm ... Removed oil injection
Go to replace the water pump and thermostats , and sure anough the lower unit has water in the oil ....

I spent way more then i should have and now im just screwed and broke ....
I so want to purchase a Calcutta 400 for inshore fishing , but not gonna happen......

good luck!

Remember: you can either own a boat, or stand under the shower for an hour tearing up hundred dollar bills...it just about the same effect.
