New here and can’t seem to find the exact answer I’m looking for in past threads. I’m about to purchase a 2003 SAN 210 Team Edition. I have 4 young kids who still enjoy tubing and a 4 seater tube. I drive fairly conservatively when they are on the tube, but I’m seeing conflicting information about what the appropriate tow point is for this tube and whether there is in fact an appropriate place to tow from. Total weight (tube and kids) is approx 380lbs max. Is the ski pylon sufficient for this? I’m assuming the tower isn’t. Thanks in advance. ]]> General Nautique Discussion Matt1717 https://www.planetnautique.com/vb5/forum/nautique-topics/general-nautique-discussion/692974-2003-san-210-team-edition-tubing https://www.planetnautique.com/vb5/forum/nautique-topics/maintenance-technical-discussion/692966-water-intrusion-with-a-4000-bill Thu, 27 Aug 2026 22:05:49 GMT they repack the rudder without issue. But that didn’t stop the water from coming in. They traced it to the prop, but they put 10 hours of labor into removing the prop and said they just couldn’t. this was a former Nautique dealer that I’ve used for years and they had their best mechanic on it. they had to cut the prop and replace it.
I’m not doubting the work that they did or that this was necessary, I’m just curious if anyone else has had this experience. the prop had never been removed prior.

edit: I wasn’t clear that it was the prop SHAFT that was stuck, not the prop - they had to cut and replace the shaft as a result, not just the prop.
they broke a $500 shaft puller (that I was not charged for AFAIK)]]> Maint. / Tech.

I was looking at the starters on Nautique parts.com and they recommended putting direct power to my starter to see if it fires up. I thought this would start the engine, but all that happened was the starter spun.

Is that right? Is there a way to jump a boat like this (by basically bypassing any failed components other than the starter)....and basically saving your day on the lake

Trying to figure out if this is causing my idle mode problem. Does anyone have photos on there 330 of where this plug with blue arrows goes? Is it meant to not be plugged to anything? Also, as a side note while trouble shooting I noticed the red arrow plug had a wire cut off at the plug. If anyone has a photo of that plug too it would be SOOOO much help. I can't imagine there would be a bare wire hanging there intentionally.

I ordered a Rinda Techmate Pro so that I would be able to read any codes the engine ECM might set. Here’s pics of the unit and plug:




After staring at the wiring harness for a while, the only plug that looks like it could be a diagnostic port is the narrow 6-pin one next to the red circuit breaker button that has “405051-A” on the cap.





When I remove the cap I see that it has what appear to be 3 yellow fuses with no values showing. Possibly these are jumpers and not fuses? If this is the diagnostic port, then I have the wrong Rinda unit, based on plug shape.




Here’s more pics of the engine and wiring harness. It’s a V drive, so when I use “front” and “rear”, I’m using hull orientation and not engine orientation.

Here's a pic of the front:





My Techmate Pro is an expensive paperweight at the moment, so any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

I’m having some trouble with a high idle condition. About a month ago i put new plugs in due to a miss, i have learned that particular condition and know the signs. New plugs and it was running smooth again. While changing the plugs I checked the base timing, it was off a little so got that spot on.

I set the idle to 650 and was having a some surging, did some research and found that it was likely the idle air control valve. I replaced it, and for good measure replaced the throttle position sensor, since they were both likely original to the boat so 30 years old.

The boat now idles smoothly at 650, most of the time. A week ago we spent 7 hours pulling the tube with kids from our church youth group. Off and on the boat would not return to 650 at idle, but hover around 1000. The pattern went on all day.

Yesterday we went to the lake and the boat idled smooth at 650 when we put the boat in, then a few minutes later as we idled out of the marina it was at 1000. We spent some time pulling the kids on the wake board and tube, 650 idle each time. Then we ran about 25 or 30 mph for 15 or so minutes back to the marina, and when I pulled back to idle, it was 1000 again. Shut the boat off while backing in the trailer then it idled nicely at 650 again when I loaded it.

Any ideas of where to start looking to correct the random high idle?
