Lots of water and motor was not run . oil was not milky. boat was run at high speed with this engine in lowered position . may have also been in gear .also the flywheel came loose and sheared the key . this is the second time this has happened

Water gets in your engine through the exhaust with the boat speed! Lift that engine when not in use!
