Well I've followed the directions posted on this and other A4 boards and gooten all the water out of the engine block, changed the oil, new spark plugs and got a good mechanice to look over the engine. After the mechanic removed and cleared the carb of water and gunk, The engine now starts but runs, but won't idle as well as it did before. I'll be changing the oil again and see if that doesn't make a difference. I also fonnd that I have a electronic kit from Indigo Electronics which came from the boat's PO and maybe later this summer I'll put it on.

Thanks for all the help.
