My dad had to drop the boat in to be serviced fuel jets had water in them. After draining the lines and filters the guy took out jugs of water. When we got the boat home we had to drain the fuel tanks . One of them was completely full of water only a small bit of petrol. Other was about 50/50 water petrol. No way that that amount of water could get in through rain. Guys doing the service thought someone might have siphoned the fuel out and filled it with water to make the tanks look full. Boat was on the marina. Bit dodgy. :evil:

Hopefully you will get it sorted for the good weather arriving soon, was the water salt or fresh?

Its on Dun Laoghaire marina. Working fine now but pretty annoying.
