I have some problem with my mercruser 5.0 mpi. Do anyone have any recommendation on where should I get it service or repair?
Thanks in advance

Been on the swan for a family cruise. There is no problem in the beginning even until I pull the boat out from the water. When I reach home, thinking to give the engine a normal flash, when I trying to start it, it doesn't want to start. At first I tot is battery low but even I bridge the battery, It still only turn 1 turn and making a strange cranking noise. It doesn't show any warning light or anything. When I check the engine oil, it is milky colour. What does that mean? I think it must be a big problem :(

You are right, milky engine
You are right, milky engine oil is a very bad sign. Water is getting into the oil and it can happen a number of ways. Some of them could be blown head gasket, leaking manifold/elbow joint, damaged manifold/elbow/riser, corrosion through the water passages in the inlet manifold or even a cracked block.
You are wise to seek out the help of an expert unless you want to start taking the engine apart yourself to inspect.
