either your manifolds/risers are bad or the engine dieseled and ran backwards. Pull your plugs, spin the motor over to expel the water. If it was salt water, and its been a couple days, don't waste your time, pull your motor out, replace with a new one

Well that's pretty much what I figured. And it did not happen to me, but it did happen to one of the engines on an Amberjack I'm thinking of buying,

Also a cracked head, bad head gasket, bad intake gasket, or even a stuck float valve in the carb can hydro lock an engine.

One of my customers down here has a AJ with a dead 6.2 Mercruiser in it. He's had it for sale and we just found out its got motor issues. I think he's going to sell as is. It's listed on Intracoastal yachts Web site if your interested. BTW the Web price does not reflect the asking price since the engine damage was discovered
