So I bought a 2017 Axis T23...and now it's in the shop.:?
I've owned skiers choice since 2012 and I never had a boat go to a shop...
it's Fresh water cooled and boat runs hot at high RPMs. I haven't fried it. it creeps up to 200F and I put it in neutral and it cools right back to 160F in two minutes....I live far from the dealers so I tried to resolve this by throwing parts at it....what a waste....
tore down the cooling system - no blockage found - tested and still overheated
replaced impeller - old one wasn't damaged - tested and still overheated
replaced thermostat - tested and still overheated
tore down more of the cooling system - oil cooler, lower thermostat housing on 6.0L block - tested and still overheated
it runs like a dream on the hose in my driveway.
it's all under warranty but I was sure this could be resolved myself.....I have now dropped it off at the dealer and they need to get this right or drive a forklift through the side of it and put me out of my misery
