2020 AR210 Engine Problem? Less than 10 hours..

[A_mo7]

Hello Everyone,

New member here! I hate that my first post is a problem post... I purchased the boat brand new a little over a week ago and took it out yesterday for it’s fourth time. The engines have about 8 hours on them at the moment. Heading back to the dock the starboard engine starting acting up/bogging down.. it will not throttle over 3k RPMs and makes a terrible sound. Checked the ports and both were clean, I putted back and trailered it, looked under and could not see any visible damage or debris in the jet intake either. .

I have attached a video on Vimeo.

Please help a concerned new owner!

Likely you have something lodged in an impeller, even if you can't see it.

Check out this thread, just a few below your post: https://jetboaters.net/threads/please-help.26977/

Congratulations on the new boat and welcome to the forum, by the way. Lots of great info and very knowledgeable people here.

Thank you! It has been a blast thus far until this happened. That’s boating though.. I’ll check the link you sent over.

to the forum. It could be an very small piece of wood. Raise the bucket and take a good look from both sides. Feel around the edge of the impeller or use a small inspection mirror from the intake side.

BINGO! Stuck in between the bottom prop of the propeller had to really get the best angle to see it. After about 10 minutes of getting the proper leverage it popped right out. Thank you! Today may be another day on the water after all
