Hi all. When hooked up to a hose, pushing water through the engine, the boat will idle endlessly at 140F. When in the water and idling, temps will rise to 180F. But when I raise the rpms and move 20+MPH, temps get back down to 140. I've pulled and changed the impeller which appears to be fine. I also...

I am looking to replace my ballast pump impellers on my 2012 X2. I found an impeller replacement kit with o ring and hardware, thinking i should replace my o ring as I am second owner and I don't know that the first owner ever replaced o rings.

Any tips for pulling the impeller on a 6000 GDI? Does anyone use an impeller puller?
Thank you

Hi everyone,

I just joined the MC family.. purchased a 2008 X-45 yesterday! I have called a couple local shops here in Utah and the price to dewinterize the boat, change the oil and water impeller is around $500. I was also told to change the spark plugs and that would run an additional...

I left the engine water intake valve closed (after winterization) and ran the boat about a 1/4 mile before the smoke started coming from the engine compartment. The temp gauge was around 200 deg before I shot the engine down.

I had the boat towed to the dock after. There are pieces of...

I just started changing out the raw water impeller on my 2014 X2 with the 5.7L. I made a video because I could not find anything out there video-wise, and a lot of people talking about how hard it is to get at. It took about 5 minutes to get it out, never having done it before. So attached is the...

In mid July, I purchased a 1995 Maristar 225 vrs with the 5.7 tbi. Boat had 280 hrs to which we've already added 30 more. The boat has run flawless up until today.

This morning during our early morning ski session, we began hearing what sounded like a squealing belt accompanied by...

Hello team talk... I just returned from a tour in the middle east and decided to pick up a present for myself. I've never been fortunate enough to ski behind a true inboard ski boat but have always wanted to and I was lucky enough to find an 87 PS190 in my price range. I have yet to see her with my...

Are there 2 water pumps on my 2003 Indmar 5.7 — raw water pump & circulating water pump?
The belt-driven water pump (with the gear-shaped rubber impeller) seems to be seized. Unhappily, I think it was run that way for a few hours and the belt was almost worn through, but the engine seems...

Hello!

First off, I'm new to this forum so I'm not quite sure yet as how to format the questions and threads, but I'll just post it as a question..

I just bought a 07 XStar and I would like to buy some spare impellers for the engine in case it needs to be swapped out....

I have an overheating issue with my X2.

At idle, everything is good. I have water circulation (I can see water movement in the strainer) and the temperature is 165 F. I take is out on the lake and increase the rpms and the strainer empties and the engine heats up (200 F). I've removed...

Hi Team, I am a newbie to this board and to boat maintenance. I have an overheating '89 Tristar 190 with stock 351. The engine has 291 hours on it. It was my father-in-laws boat and it has been well maintained. The tristar started overheat for the past couple of weeks. I had the impeller replaced...

Hi everyone, i m french and i apologize for my very bad english.

There are several holes on the new pump with several diameters, but i tried every positions,...

Finally got to some much needed maintenance on my X30. She's a family boat and the regular maintenance, other than winterizing, has fallen through the seams when passed from sibling to sibling.

So with the help of a very knowledgable collegue, he and I changed the oil and oil filter,...
