Water coming into the wing engine was a major issue that needed to be resolved. The plan was to do overnight ocean passages to quickly get to Florida and I didn’t feel comfortable doing that without a backup engine (wing engine). I found an authorized service provider for the wing engine in Deltaville VA to figure out the issue. Turns out when I had a new dripless shaft seal installed, they put the water line to the new seal on the wrong side of the anti-siphon valve. Oops. It was quickly resolved and relatively cheap fix, by boat bucks standard that is. BOAT = Bring Out Another Thousand.
