			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello, <br />
Have a 98 super air natique I just bought recommission it, put a new impeller in (installed the housing correctly lol). Pulled the hose off the strainer and had the garden hose running, before the engine was started, water was pouring out exhaust. Started up and seemed to run fine, but temperature gauge was sky rocketing to 220 as soon as it started up. Engine was cool to the touch. Pulled the hose off the top of the thermostat and was completely filled with water. <br />
<br />
Any ideas? Could it be the temp sensor itself?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Out on the lake last night for an evening tour and about 45 min in the engine overheats ( up to 200) and starts to miss fire with a big reduction in power. Open the engine cover and notice the port side exhaust manifold leaking from what looks like a rusty crack on the bottom. Would this cause the issues? The impeller looks fine and I just replaced the thermostat<br />

<br />
I have a pretty severe blowout/stress fracture on the tower of my 2007 SV211 Team Edition. (Pics attached below).<br />
<br />
Has anyone experienced anything like this on their tower? If so, were you able to have a fabricator sleeve and weld it to fix it, or did you end up having to replace the tower altogether? Appreciate any advice!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Just recently bought a 2001 air nautique extremely low hours. Was unable to run the engine at the sale he didn&#8217;t have a fake lake&#8230; I know I&#8217;m an idiot. Ended up getting home and sucking 30 gallons of fuel out from sitting a few years. Got fresh gas and seafoam marine pro in there and went to start and it would fire and then immediately die. Checked the kill switch and also replaced the fuel filter. It was at this moment I realized when I put my code in and wake the system the LP fuel pump wouldn&#8217;t turn on. I kept reading check and change the relays so that&#8217;s what I did. Still no pump. On one of the plugs to the relays I&#8217;m reading 11.2 volts on the constant power pole and 12.5 volts on the switched pin. Can anyone help me am I screwed? Did I buy a stupid boat? The old owner said he would buy it back if I wasn&#8217;t thrilled with it. Any help or where to look next would be greatly appreciated. I was so happy about this boat and now im not sure. Talk me off this ledge&#8230;]]></content:encoded>

I&#8217;m looking for a second opinion or someone who can. I&#8217;ll also entertain a used engine swap. I&#8217;m in metro Atlanta, GA and willing to travel a reasonable distance to see what can be done. Thanks!]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded>Hey I have a 2021 P25 coastal edition and I bought a heatercraft 300 elite that I am attempting to install. Wondering if anyone has done this? Where might I find the factory plug for power? Do I need to use a relay or can I draw power for the fan and recirculation pump directly from the factory plug? Where would I connect the coolant lines on the ZZ8? I noticed theres valves currently blocked off on the cooling system on opposite sides of the engine, is that where the heater coolant lines would connect to? </content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello, <br />
I was wondering what was recommended for a 2016 G23 H6 6.2 Direct Injection (non-supercharged) engine. I believe last time I put Shell Rotella 5W-40 in it. I called a few dealerships and heard anywhere from 5W-30 to 15W-40. Also heard some say it needs to have the Dexos 2 classification, but that&#8217;s been discontinued. Would I just use the Dexos 1 Gen3 or Dexos R? All off the service and parts people I&#8217;ve called can&#8217;t seem to give me an answer. Feel free to give me a specific brand too, I&#8217;m not exactly loyal to anything. <br />
<br />
Thanks Guys! ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey all, to make a long story short, I hit a log last summer, which required replacing the prop, shaft, and v-drive. The problem is, the shop can't get the old v-drive completely out as the plate/mounts are so rusted/corroded that they can't get the nuts to budge without destroying the mounting bolts. Apparently, this part isn't made by Nautique anymore, and they weren't able to locate one anywhere else. They tried to see if one could be fabricated, but didn't have any takers.<br />
<br />
So, I'm hoping someone out here might have any thoughts on what could be done to get us floating again! I think the part number is R109054 for the plate brace, but I have photos added for dramatic effect. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm trying to restore my dad's nautique. I've replaced the thermostat, new impeller and impeller pump. Before replacing these parts the boat would cold start and idle fine. After cruising around the lake then slowing down to go through a no wake zone or coming to an idle the boat would shut off and temp would be between 200-220. After cooling down for an hr I could get it back to the dock. It would not over heat when cruising and stay between 140-160. Put the old thermostat in a pot of water on stove and by the time the water temp got to 170 it would fully open but replaced with new thermostat anyways(tested new thermostat and it works as it should. It is a 160° thermostat). One odd thing to note: engine would not shut off when slowing down through a no wake zone or idling if engine cover is removed but still overheats. Past weekend i put a new thermostat and impeller/impeller pump on. Took the boat out to test it WITH engine cover removed again. Same thing still happened though. Would not shut off but when slowing down through no wake zone or idling, temp would still rise. I'm not that mechanic savvy so I'm at a loss as of what to do next. Any help with my issue would be greatly appreciated. Boat has a pcm 351 windsor in it. I've checked the exhaust manifolds and they are rusty on the inside and do need to be replaced but the water channels are not clogged.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Boat will not crank, there is slight movement when I press Start then I loose power to the Helm and I have to reset the main power toggle switch. I've replaced the Starter Relay, Starter, Safety Neutral Switch and Battery Cables, checked all Grounds and swapped the two Relays (ECC and Fuel Pump) and all I get is the slight crank movement then loose power to my Gauges. Could this be caused by a faulty Kill Switch? I've seen similar posts regarding this same situation but there's never a follow up with what the fix or fixes were. Appreciate any feedback, my boat needs to get wet asap. Thanks!]]></content:encoded>
