water in oil

[lakemanalcrystallake]

2012 Moomba mojo ballast hose came off while wakeboarding and filled motor compartment with a foot of water. did not notice until steam came into boat.
Checked oil and was milky. Hauled to a garage and they purged oil several times then started. Milky oil continued. I have not brought it to the one dealer in the state yet.
Any ideas what is broken and estimate of repair cost?
thanks

Do a compression check to see if the head gasket(s) are blown. Hopefully not.

I’m thinking it’s internal. I’ve had more than a foot of water in the bilge and it won’t harm the engine. I think you would’ve had to fill the entire compartment up to let water through the intake to then get it in the crank case.

Water can get in thru the dipstick tube block connection but I would think after 2 oil changes all water would be out. Was the oil water free earlier in the season?
Are you telling us the entire story? I see its your first post. How long have you had the boat. A foot in the engine compartment would mean you have water on the floor of your boat. How long have you had the boat? Where exactly did the ballast hose come off? Are you a troll?

Not sure what your agenda is. No I'm not a troll. The facts are as previously stated. Local garage changed oil four times and started engine. Oil remained milky. He suggested I bring it to a Moomba dealer. Boat was running perfect before this. I called dealer but service manager not in today. I will visit him Monday to discuss.

Great, you answered the last question how about the first 2 questions

Find a new shop and start over. This is not an issue that needs a Moomba dealer to resolve. Any shop with basic engine repair experience can diagnose and repair. Water in the bilge will not find its way into the engine. Only logical theory is that water caused the engine belt to slip, engine ran hot, real hot.

$3000 for 2 manifolds sounds steep. Might want to procure the parts on your own.

Manifolds should be $350 each and if you need risers $200 each. Plus maybe $50 in gaskets

Probably the easiest part to service on the engine too.

2 INTAKE manifolds? 2.......!?!?!!!

You do know that there’s only one intake manifold, right Something fucky going on here.
