2018 Mooba Max intake hose

[[email protected]]

Hello,

Had our boat out for the first time this year and it immediately started taking on water. We got back to the docks and off the water as soon as we could but unfortunately the motor/transmission seemed to be heating up and there was a burnt rubber smell coming from the engine bay. The boat was winterized by our dealer.

Once I got it back home, I found that what I think is the water intake hose was right off and most likely the source of the water entering the boat. Unfortunately, the clamp was very loose, and I can only assume the dealer forgot to attach it after winterization but not sure if this hose is something they remove during the service.

Can anybody comment on what I should do next? What are the chances that this did serious damage to something? Has anyone had this happen to them?

Would it back safe to reattach the hose and try using the boat or should it be thoroughly checked out by a technician? We've come to the lake for the week, and I'd hate to not be able to use the boat should it have to go in for servicing. Today is Canada Day so my dealer is closed so I haven't been able to talk to them yet.
