Hey guys, I recently bought a Mudbuddy 4400 about 7 months ago. I did not get much hunting time this winter and the motor only has 33 hours on it so as you can tell it's been lightly used. I adjusted the valves after 10 hours just like the book says and everything ran fine the rest of the season. Fast forward to the last couple weeks of deer season, the boat had been sitting for about two weeks since I had not gotten a chance to take it out. Anyways I got a break one weekend and woke up early with all my gear to go hunting for the weekend up in the delta. I went to crank the motor in the yard before leaving and it would not turn over? So firstly I checked voltage and was getting 12v everywhere next I pulled the plugs and tried turning the engine over and ice and water blew out the cylinders. Huge issue and as you can imagine I was HOT!! Seeing as this is a brand new engine and it stays covered in the yard the only explanation I can see water getting into the engine was through the exhaust. Last time I took the boat out I had to come in early due to a horrible rain storm that blew up on me and it down poured the whole hour and a half ride back home. I cover my engine when parked in the yard but not while trailering so this is the only point I can think water could have entered the engine? Anyways Back to the issue, I drained the oil after discovering ice and water within the cylinders and the oil was also milky, I opened the oil fill cap on the valve cover and poured a gallon of distilled alcohol straight through the engine with the oil drain plug pulled out and then let it dry out for a couple hours. Once good and dry I blew air through and changed the oil 2-3 more times while running for 5 or so minutes each time just to get it hot enough to evaporate any water left in the engine. I also replaced the oil filter each time! Anyways that was around 18-20 hours or so and up until now the boat has ran fine until last weekend. I was running up the delta to pull out a good friend of mine that had found himself stuck up in a little bay. While on the way there with another friend and his boat for assistance the motor made a loud noise and seemed to have lost a cylinder simuntaenously. To make a long story short I had my other friend out on the water pull me back to the dock and I got the boat home to discover it had definitely dropped a cylinder, one of my intake push rods had snapped? So my main question is what would cause this? The only thing I can think is that either a valve stuck or rocker stuck. The whole water and ice in the engine makes me think it could have warped a valve maybe? Im in the process of talking to mud buddy now and need to get this motor fixed ASAP. My main issue is rather or not this is a warranty issue or not, I dont see anything I've potentially done to cause this issue but then again I dont want to let a shop handle it and it not be covered under warranty and then me be stuck with a hefty bill when I could do the work myself anyway. Mud buddy has offered to send me another push rod but theres definetly more to the story than just a broken push rod, something obviously caused this. If you would please give me yall's opinion guys! Thanks!
