Loose engine mounts.

We'll I guess your right, manual says every hundred hours or once a year. So I guess that is in theory correct...But what does that mean "dealer that is maintaining the boat." I bet no dealer checks that stuff.

But super good point. Thanks.

Mine does........every service!!!!!

There is still a possibility that there was a repair done that no one is claiming.

Yep. The fact that ALL of them are loose tells me someone did some work there and forgot to go back and tighten them down. I don't believe for a second this boat came from the factory this way.

My dealer's mechanic told me that he checked them with each oil change, but they were almost never out of spec, especially early on.

Well. I don't know what to say other than I've been on and around Nautiques for more than 20 years now and I've never, ever seen all four engine mounts go loose on their own before. I'm not saying it's impossible. I've just never seen it.

Yeah you never saw it, cause this one probably did not have them tightened from the factory...

How do you know this? He didn't buy the boat new. All we have is the dealer said the previous owner said there weren't any major repairs done.

[scottb7]

We'll never know...But is my opinion...It only has 52 hours when he got the boat and they did not go loose on their own....So either they weren't done from the factory or all 4 were loosened at some point in first 52 hours...

We'll never know for sure..Come on how about the people that had leaks and come to find out the factory did not feel like gluing under the rub rail. In my 2008, I replaced the screw cover around the windshield, and they only filled in few screws, had predrilled holes, but never bother to put screws in...

I also find it hard to believe that it left the manufacturer that way. The dealer I bought the boat from said they did the 50hr service right before I bought the boat so it was clearly missed at that point, or, someone isn't being honest. They seemed very honest and upfront and it seemed by the way they talked had a relationship with the seller so at this point all I can do is take their word. I put 50hrs on it since then so I'm kinda dead in the water. I looked the boat over when I bought it and can't say that I even looked at them. Who would on a 50hr boat!! I will from now on though. I'm hoping I can just replace the packing seal and realign everything and keep on keepin on. I was just curious with this post if it has ever been seen before. One mount, maybe. Just not all four.

[scottb7]

Yeah, the dealer lied about checking them...And it probably left the factory that way.

[tsatrooper]

Or it's had a repair that's not being mentioned.

Yeah, your funny. Anyone that is not a kool-aid drinking dude like you is not welcome, huh. If there weren't complainers like me that were honest about what is good and bad your nautique would be even worse.

Cause clearly the company has no direction of their own....When the propellers stop falling off boats then maybe I can get off my high horse. But it is 5 years running now that they are falling off. (2013-2017).

How many different threads have you brought up the shafts? Jeez talk about a dead horse. I'm starting to think you bought a 100k boat that is out of warranty and blaming Nautique for the repair bills that you now have to front.

I'll agree with Wakemaker, try a Malibu if Nautique is so bad. Enjoy the 8 years of electrical issues that they have had - many 2010-2013 screens going out and not being under warranty. And since you dislike "Nautique Corporate" so bad, go ahead and see first hand the difference between a privately owned company and publicly traded by switching to Malibu.
