I am having some issues with my 210 and was wondering what some of your guys would do in my situation. here's the deal:
03 SANTE-199 hours, always serviced by dealer or WCCC. had it turnkey winterized in Nov of last year. I took it out for the first time 2+ weeks ago. It fired up after a couple of tries, idled around waiting for my freinds to park the truck. WHen i went to give it some throttle it wanted to die, so i would quickly back off. I looked at strainer, water valve, all checked out. gauges were working and in order. I picked up my buddies after about 5 minutes, staterted to head out to the middle of the lake and noticed a weird exhaust pitch, almost like it was missing. noticed white and blue smoke at around 3000rpm. I figured it was fogging oil form the cylinders. still trucking toward the middle of the lake(probably 30 seconds into the trip) and beeeeep, engine hot flashes, and she shuts down.
I start to hear noises coming from the engine hatch, pop it and notice my exhaust hoses coming off my manifolds are sucked in and you can hear water in my muffler. I realize this is not a good thing and get out the oar. Temp gauge says 200-210. take it back to WCCC. Was told it will be a week to look at it. No problem. Good weather just hit, I can wait a week. it ends up taking longer. Talked to the guy today, they pulled all of the plugs and put some oil in the cylinders and have been lettin it sit for 3 or 4 days to dry out. I checked the oil on the lake and saw no water.
My question is, has this happened to anybody before, if so what kind of damage happened or could have happened? What would your next steps be? I am not sure how to handle it and wanted some opinions first. I mean from my standpoint I brought it to them running in fine condition and now am I looking at an engine with premature wear or something that could potentially have long term issues? Still have 2 years left on the warranty.....
thanks for any responses...
