Hi all, just wanted to pick your brains. Took my boat out this weekend. My nephew put the plugs in - he's done it many times. All was well - got up to 21 mph with a couple of rough waves. Nothing major. Didn't feel or hear any cavitation. About 4 miles out I get an engine temp warning so I shut it down and started digging through things. Water was coming out of both ports at the normal rate, so I knew that wasn't an issue. I decided to go through start-up on each engine because it shouldn't be both. Turned out to be the starboard engine. Limped back to the dock on the Port engine (no error) - kept it under 4mph. Started checking everything I could. At the last moment I went to pull the plugs and one was completely out.
Went through start-up after recycling the battery switches and the issue was gone. So my questions are:
Went through start-up after recycling the battery switches and the issue was gone. So my questions are:
- If damage was done where would I need to inspect to verify?
- If there are issues is the connext system smart enough to see those issues? Meaning I should see new or the same warnings going forward?
- The engines run a little rough but they've never purred like kittens even when new.
- I'm heading down today to check the cleanout plugs to make sure that the plug isn't bad in some way and not a mistake in installation.
- Anything else I should be checking - or should I just pull it out and take it to the dealer for an inspection?
