Boat is back together and ready for relaunch.
Because of the current weather relaunch is going to be tomorrow along with a good sea trial to make sure everything is running correctly.
A bit of news:
I've been after them for a good diagnosis on why this happened. They first said the impeller could have failed but when they went to change it the impeller was in good shape. Both were changed just to be on the safe side since the last time they were serviced was back in 2012.
So then they went to fire up the new engine and it would not stay running. Found the engine control module was dead. Once replaced the engine fired off and runs great. So now they think the ECM died when I was cruising at 4000 RPM and sucked water back through the exhaust when it shut down abruptly.
Thoughts?
i don’t know, did they find water in the cylinders? Cutting out randomly doesn’t explain the indication of an overheat. I know you said the gauge pegged but even if that was wrong you said you could feel the heat and smell oil. Unless the ecm went completely haywire I don’t know how a failed ecm could cause the failure you had.
id be interested in what they found when tearing the engine down to determine the cause of death.
