The boat we’re talking about here is a brand new SX210, 13.5 hours on both engines. So a few weeks ago I got stuck on a sand bar and instinctively jammed the boat into reverse. The jets definitely sucked up a good amount of sand / mud, and the starboard engine threw an overheat warning. It limited RPMs to 3000, and I shut off boat engines. 20 min later they started up fine and I slowly went back into shore. Flushed engines well and stored in dry storage for 2 weeks while on vacation.
Yesterday, after the boat had been stored for 2 weeks, I flushed engines again and then put her in. She ran fine until I hit 6k RPM or so for 60 seconds then the starboard engine temp light came on again. Shut it off and brought it in with 1 motor.
What I have tried!
- flushing for up to 20 minutes - no overheat
- checked water intake screen - nothing blocking
- oil levels good
Could it be a faulty temp sensor? It’s a brand new boat... anything helps thanks.
