    Starboard motor cutting out while cruising

    Jump and shake the rear hatch, same for the landyard switch , both frequent failure points.

    Wow, how strange both failed together. Glad you are in good shape again!!!

    Listing to port side

    Tabs also level the boat when there is heavy side wind and reduce the amount of input required to keep the boat heading in those conditions. I second the suggestion if determining how much weight it takes to get the boat level and go from there.

    Boat 2008 SX230 HO South FL $10.5k

    Can you share powerplant condition? Boat runs well? Oil clean? Heck of a deal if it's running well.

    Saying Goodbye for Now!!

    Good deal. For better or worse prices have returned from the stratosphere. Maybe in a year or two you can come right back if you miss it

    Where are you going? New boat? Best of luck!

    At 4500 rpm’s it feels like a clutch is being pressed

    The hardest test is increased rpm worth a high load. Lots of people and weight, accelerate somewhat aggressively, if it doesn't spin, you are all set. If you already gunned once or twice and all good.. you are very likely all set. I really like water weld, just need either a few pairs of gloves...

    2nd bilge pump versus bilge alarm?

    Check the new full load and breaker and cable size just in case. Nothing like the breaker tripping at 3 minutes under load while you are taking in water to make you realize something's wrong.

    MR1 ECU or injector or something else?

    Right, new air filter to go with your new or replaced ECU if it soils. That I grasp. Thanks!

    MR1 ECU or injector or something else?

    Can you explain how oil on the air filter relates to ECU driver failing for an injector? I admit I got lost there

    Broken steering control arm on SX230 starboard engine - how do I replace it?

    Sorry you broke your steering cable. Yes, the answer to your question is Yes. If you are super urged to go out next weekend you MIGHT be able to salvage by creating new threads on the cable end you have and adding an extension/coupling. (It can be done, I did it on the other end of the cable...

    At 4500 rpm’s it feels like a clutch is being pressed

    It's usually some sealant/caulking that has left it's original place. Don't just check visually, also grab/pull around. if it's loose, it gets sucked into the water path and makes a mess. I have stopped using caulk/sealant and instead use WaterWeld to fill in gaps in the "permanent" parts of the...

    There is a design issue that causes all water ingress through the rear edge to fall right on top of the ECU. Not sure if that's your cause here, but it does not help.

    If the issue moves with the ecu it points to the ECU being the issue for sure. Folks have had mixed results with the repair. New has better track record. What's the boat year?

    Behind that box, through the clean out tray behind it. Swapping ECU is the next best test.

    AR 230 H.O no start when hot

    The resistance is a good thing to check. There are theories that if an injector has high resistance that can cause damage to the ecu long term, but I can't recall if that has been proven, many of the ones damaged have a lot of moisture or water signs, indicating they were underwater for some...

    AR 230 H.O no start when hot

    Just to confirm, when you swapped ECU from one side to the other, the issue remained on the single injector that ECU was having difficulty clicking in its original engine? If so, I think this definitely indicates the ECU is the issue.. Did you find any water or moisture when you opened the...

    AR 230 H.O no start when hot

    Since you are this far in, I would swap from one engine to the other and evaluate if behavior follows ecu exactly. That would confirm your definite diagnosis

    And if it tests well, add the injector to create a load and check voltage also. The driver may show ok with no load but be unable to deliver real current.
