Well we are taking the baby into the shop on Thursday.
The owner of nearyby Son Watersports is coming out to our house Wed to ride in the boat and hear the banging/blowback noise we get when the boat is under load or WOT. At WOT the engine sputters until I back it off.
He said he thinks it is a flex plate in the transmission that is causing the noise. They may have to pull the engine. They estimated $300 plus labor.
Anyone with experience with this issue?
I am tempted to have him check out other mechanical things that have been bugging me like needing to be pumped to start. I also need to order a new throttle cable and new electronic ignition kit as our is malfunctioning.
I took my first ride of this season FINALLY behind my buddies SeaRay the other day unweighted - I was able to land my backroll and hs360 and shifty180, halfcabs, etc. One run, just one fall on my first 360 attempt. Tiring as ALL hell.
There is a new cable park in MN with a Sisetec and private boat lake, 10kwakes.com I cant wait to go!
Thanks for reading, here are some pics hehe!
