I have a Mercury 135hp motor that didn't start. After a few tests, I discovered the three starboard cylinders had zero compression, while the three port side cylinders had normal compression. I did a tear down of the motor and discovered the cause.

Music Video Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjCiE9Hl-XJFiZob5WBiKYj-tj6G-iupe
[Verse 1]
Out on the lake where the north wind howls,
Bundled like snowmen, avoidin the owls.
Drill that auger, but watch your step slick,
One wrong move and youre doin the splits quick!
Shacks a-glow with a heaters weak flame,
Hot cocoa sloshin, playin blame games.
From Duluth to the Boundary Waters wild,
Were chasin fish that leave us beguiled.
[Chorus]
Oh, ice fishin in Minnesota, where the lakes freeze like glass!
Tip-ups flaggin, but were slippin on our... well, you know.
Catchin perch that fight like tiny sumo champs,
In the land of ten thousand, dodgin frozen cramps.
Bundle up, folks, its thirty below zero,
Fish are bitin, but our toes are the heroes!
Ice fishin in Minnesota, laughin through the snow.
[Verse 2]
Snowmobiles zoomin, but one hits a bump,
Driver goes flyin, lands with a thump.
Jiggin with minnows in the hole so deep,
The big ones a legend, but it pulls a sneak.
Northern lights winkin like theyre in on the joke,
Hotdish bubblin, while we nearly choke.
From Brainerd to Bemidji, we stake our silly claim,
Freezin our butts off in this goofy game.
[Chorus]
Oh, ice fishin in Minnesota, where the lakes freeze like glass!
Tip-ups flaggin, but were slippin on our... well, you know.
Catchin perch that fight like tiny sumo champs,
In the land of ten thousand, dodgin frozen cramps.
Bundle up, folks, its thirty below zero,
Fish are bitin, but our toes are the heroes!
Ice fishin in Minnesota, laughin through the snow.
[Bridge]
When the ice cracks and we all start to yelp,
Pack up the gear, but hey, no one needs help.
Memories stick like glue on a frozen pole,
Of epic fails and fish that stole the show.
Yeah, its more than the catch, its the hilarious plight,
In the northlands chill, we survive the fight!
[Final Chorus]
Oh, ice fishin in Minnesota, where the lakes freeze like glass!
Tip-ups flaggin, but were slippin on our... well, you know.
Catchin perch that fight like tiny sumo champs,
In the land of ten thousand, dodgin frozen cramps.
Bundle up, folks, its thirty below zero,
Fish are bitin, but our toes are the heroes!
Ice fishin in Minnesota... oh, laughin through the snow!
