Today we checked the oil and all the fittings and everything checked out normal so we took the boat out.

After a normal warm up and quick run we stopped to get our first wake boarder in the water for the summer. We did a couple of runs and as we went to pick up the user white smoke was coming out of the three vent holes on the back of the boat. Smoke was also coming out of the cup holders and by the driver’s seat. The smoke had a very powerful smell, like burnt rubber. When I opened the cover of the engine, after a couple of seconds, we heard a couple of pops. The check engine light never came on and the temperature gauge showed normal during the runs. After the pops and all the smoke started to appear I turned the key to power up the guages to see if they showed anything. The check engine light was illuminated also, the temperature gauge was pegged all the way to the right.

So the main point of the post, I am just trying to see what you all think went wrong, so I can go into the dealer educated.

Thank you
Sounds like you burned the main belt off the engine.
The belt drives the water pump and alternator, so this is a good reason why the boat will be over heated on the gauge.

Very slowly and gently drive it to the dock trailer it and get it to the dealer ASAP.
Most likely you have a bad water pump or Alternator and the pully seized and with the engine running it will force the belt to spin and burn it through. The pop you herd was the belt im sure.

Take a look on the front of the engine, closer to the back of the boat and see if there is a belp on the pullies.

This all should be under warrenty as the engines are under a couple year warrenty
