    Yamaha gp1800 svho check engine light

    The light was just the engine icon. I didn’t see an overheating warning. No loss of performance. Just beeping.

    i got a good deal on this unit 600 new but am beginning to think it's too big. Has anyone put a 9" display on a Yamaha 242 with the connex screen?

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    Not sure the service guy never called me back. When I do I will let you know.

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    I believe so. The ignition key was on when the alarm went off and engines were off. I doubt it was low battery. Seems to be fully charged and the boat only has 7 hours on it. Hopefully it won't come back on like the previous poster

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    When the engines were off the pee holes had no water coming out but the check engine alarms went off for both engines. When the engines were on water was coming out the pee holes and the check engine alarms would go off but not the overheat alarm. I would silence the arms and 5-10 minutes later...

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    Weird thing was that with engines off and just the radio on the check engine alarms would go off every 10 minutes or so. Water was coming out of the pee holes but seemed slightly light but maybe not.

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    I flushed the engines but didn't use salt away. I also took off the rectangular covers for the cooling intake and there was nothing in there. I'm about due for the 10 hour service so I'll just have them come out and check it.

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    So I took the boat out just to make sure things are ok. All the sea grass is out of the grate and impeller. It runs fine but I did notice the pissers are not flowing as much water as I remember before and the check engine alarms go off, not the overheat alarm just check engine. The alarms even...

    Easy way to clean debris out of your jet pump (without pulling plugs or going in the water)

    So does this mean the new e series will work with the reverse trick but no need to open the gates after the engines are off? Or is it better to pull the lanyard out. Sorry I'm new to jet boats if the answer is obvious.

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    So the sea grass allowed less water to pass by the cooling water intake therefore I overheated the engines? Or was something else to blame

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    I'm learning about these systems so bear with me. It seems that is a silly place to put the cooling water intake. Can it be relocAted? Or why is it there?

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    Where is the cooling water intake? I assume I should make sure that is clear.

    Overheating on both engines due to seagrass

    i was on my way back in yesterday and as I was getting into the marina I heard the alarm for overheating. I was at the marina and some water was coming out of the pissers. The boat was only running for maybe five minutes. I thought the boat was slow but was able to go about 38-40 on the water...

    Towing <with a Chevy Tahoe?>

    I towed mine to the marina and out of the lake with a porsche macan, a small suv with all wheel drive and it did great. You should be just fine, but give it a test drive. Look in the owners manual to see what the limits are.
