    It's alive...sort of. 2004 AR230 resurrection

    First Day, New Boat, Bad Start

    is your marina a yamaha dealer? I would be very cautious if not, many times we see mechanics not familiar with yamaha/jet boats and it's disappointing they didn't at least give you the cleanout hatch switch advice to check while you were on the water, that is a very common issue,

    MR1 engine overheating only when underway.

    did the YDS store the over heat code ? did you run the YDS in real time to monitor the temps ? doesn't your boat have 4 indicator lines on the hull, do all four lines throw water while at speed ? my first thought would be to run the YDS to get real time data, then get a infrared thermometer...

    Have you had a 1.8 timing chain failure, was it in warranty and how has Yamaha handled it?

    That repair bill for a replacement engine is what is criminal, What's the name of the dealer that is charging that much ?

    Metal pieces found on my boat

    does you tower fold ? my guess is they are support bars for when you fold the tower, I did a couple quick searches and found talk of them but no pictures in use to confirm,

    wow ! great job tracking this down, I have to wonder two engines and both with cracked cases ??? I don't think we've ever seen both engines have the problem, I wonder if there's any coloration between them or just bad luck, I remember the several member with non-ho engines have a history...
