Volvo Penta Water in pistons

If they have not identified it, it was probably through the exhaust. My Bravo 3 (essentially a copy of VP) Mercruiser 6.2 MPI ingested through a bad flapper coming off plane into the hole in the wall a few years back. Fun place to wait for a tow!

Regardless of warranty, your issue is documented. I would take it easy coming off plane. I have notice a lot of people pulling tubes/ skiers will pull off throttle a little too fast and their wake will catch them.

Best of luck!
