Fired the engines in the launch, and after about a couple minutes of idleing, the port engine went dead. After several tries to restart it, it just would'nt stay running. Pulled one of the bottom screws of the bowl on the carb, and had solid water pouring out. 
Drained all the bowls, refilled them, and solid water again. WTF !!! Ended up taking off the lines from the pumps to the carbs, and letting about "10" gallons of water drain into the bilge. Cleaned the water out of all the fuel lines, drained the water seperators, pumped fuel in from the other tank, and fired the engine back up. 3 phuckin hours of messing with it in the boat launch. Glad it was'nt busy there.Pretty sure I know how the water got into the port tank.

Yeah, I wish. Fired the engines in the launch, and after about a couple minutes of idleing, the port engine went dead. After several tries to restart it, it just would'nt stay running. Pulled one of the bottom screws of the bowl on the carb, and had solid water pouring out. Drained all the bowls, refilled them, and solid water again. WTF !!!

Glad it was'nt busy there.
