2 weeks ago took it to the lake for the first time after winter storage and ran it for 15-20 minutes and all was good.
Put her in the water today, started up great and ran it for 15 minutes to a sand bar for some lazy time. About half way there started to get a beep with my depth gauge (digital readout on my speedometer) not reading and switching to a code of "5 8888" and then back to the depth gauge, back and forth with a single beep each time it switched back. Ran like this for 5-10 minutes and shut it down once I got to the sand bar, sat there for a good hour or so. Pushed her out from the bar and fired it up and idled out to deeper water with no beeps or signals, started to get on plan and she went into what it felt like limp mode, sputtering and then quit. When I try to get it going I get a continuous beep after I hit the start for the 2nd time (3rd time is the actual crank of the engine), hot start again and it would crank but not fire over.
I have good fluid levels, good oil pressure, good engine temps and good voltage, could be bad gas or what else who knows. I do have red fluid in my hull, not much and I am sure it is tranny fluid but I do have a good reading on the dip stick.
Question, if I have too much fluid in the tranny is there an overflow or some mechanism that will blow out the extra into the hull? Otherwise I must have a leaking seal.
Got it pulled to the trailer and in the garage.
Now when I enter my code and hit start for the first time none of my gauges respond, I hit start again, gauges respond and I can hear my FCC pumps engage (buzz for a second or 2 and then some clicking), hit start again and it cranks, fires for about 3 seconds and guits.
any ideas guys? What a terrible time for a failure. Thanks
