Man, that's a bummer :mad: What let you know they had gone? I've been told to watch the exhaust for steam, one pipe being a little different than the others, slightest sign of milky oil. Anything else I should be watching for?

Saltwater= Rough Anyone that has watched the beginning of the Freeze Frame video where the hatch comes off can see how much those headers flex as the boat pounds. It's really no wonder they fail like they do. |
I just lost another motor last week due to the header leaking! Where do you go for different exhaust? I know how CMI stays in business now!

This is kind of amazing. I'm an automobile dealer and if the products I sold failed like this I'd have a line of attorneys around the building to sue me and the manufacturers I represent. There is something called the Magnuson Moss Act and fitness for a particular purpose in the relm of warranty. I'm not an attorney and doubtless someone else on the board is and is more qualified to state an opinion but this is really kind of silly....or am I the only one that thinks so? God knows I'm not one to cry "LAWYER," but there is a time and place for everything.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I am also the last person to cry "lawyer", but this issue makes you wonder.....
But, what we can do is not buy these products anymore and force them to upgrade quality, along with a comperable warranty like one or two of the other manufacturers have... :eureka: It's funny, a while back someone with money said ; "With all the money we spend, go for the bling." But when it breaks the cash register goes "Ka-Ching!" |

I like the Stainless marine Gen III with 5 inch tail pipes. It was these or CMI Big Tubes and they had a higher failure rate.

The noise gave it away. Pulled the plugs out and water came out the number seven cylinder.
So far, I need: -1 rocker arm -new rings, bearings, timing set -1 valve, -1 piston -1 push rod Hopefully no head damage. Got to love used boats! |
