Default I swear this boat is jinxed

Well last weekend it pushed a soft/core plug out of one and this weekend the center motor decided to leak water into two cylinders while sitting. No damage but damn this is getting expensive buying a new set of exhaust manifolds every weekend.

The past two winters they were off of the motors, empty, and were laying on a shelf in my garage. I honestly think this one was cracked and just trickling water before my rebuild project. I had 22 months to pressure check them but of course I never did I just assumed they were ok.
