Thanks gents.

Considering where we ask these motors to take us...AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, bring us back home, havin' your guy lookin' at it is worth the time, etc...

Checking the compression would be an easy enough thing to do and might lend some little peace of mind. I doubt it hurt anything.

cb, i did something similar with my 40hp scallop boat. ran into a grass patch and did not know it. i thought i had an over heat alarm, not so. it ran so hot it stalled the engine. got a tow in and brought it to the house. started and ran fine, so i checked the plugs and found water. popped the head and changed the gskt. all is good now.

i did add a hot alarm!!
