The boat was delivered with fried impellers back in Oct. They were replaced. I boated a few days. I hit rocks and was able to cruise back to dock 8 miles with no issue. It went back to dealer for rock hitting repairs then. They said impellers were fried. They installed new ones again. They redelivered this Spring. Within less than a mile, i have a boat full of smoke. I thought ac unit since i had no alarms and normal gauge readings. I limped into dock on one engine. 2 weeks go by and I start it and pull away from docks. It overheats again. So i investigate but still i have 15 psi. It sinks partially after i returned luckily to slip. A different dealer saves it from sinking further and raises it. They tow it to their place and pull the impellers. They say the impeller is intact but theres old rubber pieces blocking the outlet. I'm thinking enough water passed to give me pressure but couldnt cool it ? I don't know but the whole impeller story is right here.

so the boat came with fried impellors, they were fixed, it fried the impellors again, they were fixed, then it overheated and melted??
Thats 3 sets of impellors in like 6 months with very little usage.......

Ya. But the second set were ok. the system was just clogged with old rubber

[QUOTE=dodgeman111;3383791]does your boat have a generator?? if so and is the exhaust plumbed into that exhaust hose that melted?

[QUOTE=mrfixxall;3384113]There is a generator but it was off and it does not run in to the melted exhaust

doesnt add up, you say boaT came with fried impellors in october, they were replace then you hit rocks and they were replaced again..... then it over heated....

In reference to the boats past salvage history i notice somewhere in the thread that the boat was purchased in 07 on LOTO as a salvage? I wonder if it was involved the the ice/snow storm in 06? Sale date of 07 salvage would coincide with about when insurance companies would be settling and releasing boats i would think. Heres a link to one of the threads and a few pic albums of damage. Might get lucky and find a pic in there somewhere.

Correct.

Thanks all for the input. Good and bad. I think this might be beat to death now. I'll read any more comments but i think i'll respectfully refrain from commenting. It's been fun and if anyone is interested I'll update later this summer..

[QUOTE=dodgeman111;3384115]Gotcha!!

me being from Chicago and i know not to have water in your block or hoses so they can freeze..I read in the dealers comments that frozen water in hoses were a concern,,why didn't he drain the water in the engines for the transport home?? i know engines will freeze especially when transported..
