First weekend with the almost-new 215. Not a good start...

Thanks Ronnie, where do you clamp off?

Rotax experts are needed to chime in @ScarabMike, @JetTech72, @veedubtek with pics or instructions, in a Yamaha it would be the waterline hose coming out of the pump.

@CaptRob see the attached thread for clamping off your exhaust... https://jetboaters.net/threads/towing-disabled-jet-boats.7024/#post-121018

Hope you get all your issues resolved... I am sure you will and you will love it, eventually.

Thank You! I'm sure they will as well.

@luanders , thanks for posting the video from @ScarabMike .

@CaptRob, I wouldn't know on a brp powered boat as I thought it was a closed loop system that didn't need to be clamped at all. Clamp sets are cheap at harbor freight I've since marked the hoses in my engine compartment that need to be clamped if the engine is off while towing the boat over no wake speed But originally I just bought enough clamps to use on all the hoses off on the inoperable engine.

@CaptRob There are a few things that may have happened while the boat was limping back.

1. Water intrusion to the engine
2. Circuit breaker blown
3. O2 sensor damage.

Try this. Check the circuit breakers on the board where the battery disconnect is. Make sure none are tripped. Open the engine bay, and look to the left right behind the battery. There is a fuse block there. Check the fuses, and also make sure the beige plugs are seated on their perch (facing up)

If the above is good, then perform a reset on the ECU.

The idea is to finally get the engine to turn over. Just tap it when it does. Remove the spark plugs, and have someone look in the holes, turn the engine over. Look for water to shoot up. If no water shoots up, then the engine did not get water intrusion through the exhaust manifold. Reinstal the spark plugs and coil packs. Make sure the coil pack are fully seated. Attempt to restart the engine.

Let me know if none of that works, or if the engine will not turn over.

Thanks @ScarabMike. All of the above looks good. Minus the plugs. Did not pull them. I did pull the battery and put it on a charger. Noticed it was a West Marine battery. Assuming this is not standard equipment so someone must have replaced it at one point. Have it on a charger right now.

Q-what is the ECU reset procedure? Apologies. I'm looking in the manual, which is not providing many answers!

@CaptRob Turn on the boat to engine on, but don't actually turn it on. Hold the Set and Mode buttons for 6 seconds. Turn it back off, then start the engine. Also, always remember to let the gauges finish their sweep prior to start up. The dash will be resetting, and performing a diagnostic.
