Thank you for your post and the video. Saved the day.. dropped it into a cup of salt terminator x and 10 mins later we had a working boat!!
Going to order the correct part and move on.. super quick save though and much appreciated!!
One other weird data point. The code is not thrown when in N - it will run at 2k rpms as normal with no code thrown.. but the moment you try and do it in gear it throws it.
Neutral position sensor and drive oil lube level sensor can be disconnected and the same thing happens.
The coolant...
If I just unplug it, will it give the beep every 2 mins? I saw a post that someone had to do that when they were 25 miles out to sea.. That would be fine... the part that isn't fine is 1200 rpms and blaring constant beep.. might just have to try that..
That would be the easy way.. the problem is I'm on an island and parts will take a while.. was hoping to bring it to the painting place today. If not tomorrow will have to suffice. Looking at car parts as a temp solution now.
Looks like I have a coolant/water pressure sensor that has failed and is reading 0 psi at all times.
For some reason this doesn't cause any problems under 1200 rpms.. but above it the engine goes into guardian mode and wont run at high rpm.
The water TEMP is a steady 145 - 160 and it's a...
Completely my fault. I knew it was wrong and even posted this thread. Still learning life lessons even as an adult. Next time I stop the work and have someone else do it that knows what he/she is doing.
Well SHE was not dry as a bone, months later... had to pull her out and have it all re-done. Sigh. Hopefully this new guy knows what he's doing.. he had it all replaced and fixed in about 5 hours today.
The result of the bellow job as posted in the OP, leaked all over the place inside, thank...
I have decided to give up on the 370 venture for now. When prices come back to reality I'll join.. under 100k and I'm in. see you all in 5 to 10 years.. wish I could do it now.. just not in the cards.
Understood, however I'm not looking for a typical liveaboard. I'm looking for a nimble, easy to operate solo, easy to pull up to the sandbar, or any island in the area boat that can also play the role of liveaboard.. A 500 sounds awesome, till it's time to run it 3 times a week, or out for...
Seems like the best path forward is to buck up, sell the current boat in April/May, live on land for a bit (a friend needs someone to take care of his place for 8 months while he's away, a nice place on the water, including running his boat on the lift) and just hope the prices fall, or someone...
