Need some help since my boat has been dying sporadically on me lately. Its a 2007 SANTE 210 with a 5.7L PCM 330.
It starts happening soon after putting the boat in the water while accelerating or decelerating, the engine would just die (it doesn't happen all of the time). Also happens sometimes when towing a wakeboarder. Once it dies and I come to a stop, it starts right back up no problem. I will take back off and it might happen a couple more times(might not), but it seems like after running it a bit more I can finally get it going without dying.
So I called the local dealer in Indianapolis, they said that since I bought the boat recently, I should do a tune up. So I changed the following:
- FCC Filter - PN: RP080026
- Pre Fuel Filter - PN: RP077014
- Oil & Oil Filter: PN: R077001
- Impeller - PN: RP061022
- Spark Plugs - PN: MR43LTS w/ 0.060in Gap
- Plug Wire Set - PN: RK120023
- Cap & Rotor - PN: 18-5247
After doing all of that, I took it out this weekend. Thought I fixed it since I got up to about 31mph and I was cruising for about 5-10 minutes and all the sudden it dies. I stop to make sure the engine temp was fine and it was. So I started it up and it fired up no problem. Took off and happened a minute later going the same speed. I figured I didn't want to continue this cycle and possibly do any permanent damage or hurt anything worse so I went and park near the cove by the boat ramp.
Any suggestions other suggestions before taking it to the dealer to have them work on it? Hope to save some money since they quoted my $1,000 for doing all the stuff I mentioned above. Can't image how much they'll charge me this time.
