Hi all, first post here.
I have a 2006 E-Tec that I am on my 5th season with. 481 Hours on the engine. Been very happy with this engine, but now I am experiencing some issues.
Put the boat in the water at the end of April, used it 3 or 4 times with no issues.
Recently, when I take it out, after about 10 minutes of running, I get an Alarm sound with the water temp and check engine lights lit. The alarm will go off eventually but the light stays on.
If I kill the engine, and restart, everything is normal until the alarm sounds again.. Sometimes in a few minutes, sometimes right away.
Last night, I connected my laptop, to see if I can see any faults. Much to my surprise, there were no faults showing in EVDIAG, even when I was getting the alarm and lights..
I monitored the water temp through the software, and although it read much higher than the gauge (like 30 degrees higher-is this normal?), it didn't go past 180 (is it a 180 t-stat?). Once I opened her up the temp went down to the 150 range. EMM temp stayed much cooler. Less than 100.
I also notice the battery voltage fluctuates from 12.6 to 14 V, with either battery or both.
Anyone have any suggestions or advice?
Thanks
Mike
