I need someone who will make a house call to come look at my boat and help me figure out/fix what is wrong with it. I have an inboard ski boat and recently left it in the water for about a week and came back to find that my battery was low. After getting the battery going I think I had some water in the gas, but before I came to this conclusion I pulled the distributor cap off and then accidentally misplaced a couple of wires when I put it all back on. Anyways long story short I got it running after I realized what I had done and now when I put it into reverse there is a knocking noise that is not as severe as when I put it into drive. Also it seems to be bogging down when I try to accelerate, almost like something is wrapped around the propeller but I know the propeller is clear or like the choke is sticking. Up until that day it has run amazingly and I am pretty sure that all I need is for the timing to be set and a carb adjustment, possibly a new choke or some new spark plugs. Anyways I dont know if Cat does house calls or not but if you do I would Really appreciate it if you would let me know. I am about 2 minutes away from Real Island Marina on the water and about the same in the car. Any help would be great. Thanks, Sam
