Well, I am somewhat new to boating as well as this forum. I have a 1994 Starcraft 1950ss with a 4.3L LX 205 hp thunderbolt VI. About 3 weeks ago I went out for the first time and it ran great, as it should, it only has about 20 hours on it. Well the plug dislodged somehow and here came the water. In a rush for the dock the engine compartment looked like an industrial sprinkler was running in there. And then....stall. Would not start back up. To this day all it will do is run for a short period of time (rough at that) and will not idle.

Replaced:
-Pickup Coil in the Distributor
-Coil
-Starter
-Module

Adjusted:
-Timing
-idle fuel mixture on carb.(4bbl)
-Idle speed
-throttle cable

This is a cry for any amount of help.
