Can you describe a bit better what the events were leading up this? Does the boat take on water when the engine isn't running? Does it take on water only when the engine is running? How long was the boat in the water? Are the pictures showing water actually flowing? It's hard to see past the wires...

Hey !!! Yeah the mecanic is here and is telling me that the engine block rotted away because of salt acumulation in the veins and a hole burst in the cooling system. He has a quik fix with some type of resin so the family can enjoy the rest of the vacation ... and yeah water starts spraying when the engine is running and i never leave it in the water past 5 days "salt water " Acapulco México!!

Oh man…. That’s a major bummer. There are supposed to be anodes bolted to the sides of the pumps to prevent that from happening. I wonder if yours corroded away and we’re never replaced or something??

you may consider a jetski mechanic, since these are ski engines normally those shops are much more familiar with the repair,

I can't really see in your picture where the problem is but we've got a couple of threads with '06 engine blocks "cracking"

what HP is your motor ?

About to check the zinks see if i may have a loose cable passing current to the block... also just went for a ride and its not leaking with the quik fix " apoxy resin of some sorts" soooo guess the vacation is still on!!!... in 2 weeks im pulling the engines so ill keep you all updated.

Gracias and cheers from Acapulco!!!

Hey hey
I just got back and yes !!! Anodes were stolen or something a few months ago because when I bought the boat they were there. So I had a guy cut some up for me from a bigger boat that donated them, and was able to go out with no major events. Also was able to patch up the crack and all seems in working condition. Thanks for the Help.. Have a great evening!!
