Gee, I wonder if your really getting what you paid for at the Marina? Unless you really think it was coming through the sending unit gasket which I find hard to believe. Also, spend the money on the sight bowl version of your fuel filter. The one that you have there is worthless for monitoring fuel quality. You could have spotted that water in the sight bowl and stopped it before your engine was forced to eat that crap.Thats enough water to trash a powerhead.
