Hello All! Glad to have found this forum shortly after the purchase of our new to us 2007 Supra 22SSV. Boat has 300 hours on it and is in pretty nice condition overall. Of course we had a few hiccups in the beginning, a couple we are still trying to sort out. Had some audio system woes and got all that fixed and corrected (bad amp, horrible wiring job). Cleaned her up real good and fixed a couple of small vinyl issues and she is looking great! We LOVE the boat and our family has been having a blast getting into boarding and surfing!
My main concerns are as follows. The boat tripped a check engine warning on our maiden voyage (go figure)! All seems well, the boat runs strong as an ox and does not miss a beat. All gauges seem good so we have just been watching it carefully. Planning a trip to a shop next week to get it scanned and see what tripped it.
Tonight we went out for a short run, about an hour. Midway in the run after coming down from 20-25mph to 3-5mph a "Low Oil Pressure Threshold" warning came on, if memory serves correct the warning indicated 14psi. Of course I freaked out, shut her down and then fired it up again. Oil pressure on the gauge was 25 at idle and moved up in the low 40's on the throttle. To me, this seemed ok. I am just curious what could cause this and if this has been an issue on the Indmar Assault 325? Of course we will get it looked at but I wanted to ask you owners your thoughts.
Also, just replaced a bilge pump near the ski locker area as I found it was not working. Later found a blown breaker, could not find the breaker before replacing so it got a new pump anyway. The old was was nasty and it looked as if water had been in there for a little bit. I completely emptied it when I did the work. Tonight on our first ride after it being empty I pulled back into the dock and the bilge kicked in. Checked and there was more water in there, we did not take any over the bow. Looking through some posts on here it seems as if water does get into this area for a lot of owners. Just wanted to confirm what I would guess is 5 gallons or so being pumped out is normal. How does it get in there? Any cause for concern?
Lastly, can I trust this Indmar being serviced with a quality local marine repair facility or should I stick to a dealer only? I assume most shops would have diagnostic equipment to check this out.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. For sure will get things checked out, just looking for opinions and can hopefully ease my concerns until I can get it in the shop next week.
Great forum, happy to have joined and more than happy to own our Supra!
