I finally got my answer to the overheated engine. I took the head off to inspect the pistons and the sleeve on cylinder 2 has twisted . I was told by the dealer that the block is now junk. I've already got another motor installed on the boat this weekend . Thanks for everyone's help. As I said before I was hoping for good news but this is by the worst case scenario

Yes I know it overheated. My alarm was going off for a while to get back in to shore. That being said. U can see that the motor got so hot it melted plastic connections on some of the wires laying on the topic the motor. And the seam where the block meets the intake has apparent melted paint. I am getting a second opinon Thursday from the johnson dealer. Ill get back to you guys then. At this point ive started to look at used motors in case the motor needs an overhaul for sure and its over my head in diy or cost . Well see . Thanks everyone

He said he sprayed ether on block while it was running and it sucked it in and motor stopped. So a vacuum leak is apparent there. That would mean its a gasket or seal where the blocks come together i believe

My mechanic said it has some internal damage from over heating. He's given up and said not worth investing anymore 😕

Shop said that it overheated when the impeller went and caused internal damage. He invested alot of time into it and stopped because he new it wasn't an easy fix and didn't want to spend anymore time on it. Only charged me 100$. Im not convinced though that it's internal damage because there is no way in hell it would go from running bad to running great the next day to back to bad the next weekend if that was the problem. Second opinion is next to do -
Its in the shop now..

I have 3 coils. Did I bench test with n ohm meter. Had the same reading on all three. I definitely have spark but maybe just not timed right. I've eliminated all gas issues and carbs. I got a manuel and testing requires all these make shift tools and meters -

It doesn't cut out n die. It just doesn't get on plane. Basically running on only one or two cylinders. 7 mph tops. Very boggy. Not enough fuel gonna look into fuel pump replacement or repair kit -
