Major Relief

Man.........I was SURE I had some serious boat repairs coming to my motor.

A couple weeks ago at KY lake my engine management system on my Opti shut the motor down............

After 10 minutes, everything was OK, but I was still worried.......

I put the motor on the computer over at BPS this morning, and it was an overheat.......

They checked to make sure it was spitting water OK, and checked the thermostats, and said all looks good.....

I'm at 148 hours, and they said I can prob get through next spring and bring it in for an impeller, but all seemed GOOD.

Major sigh of relief............a MAJOR repair would have taken me out of the picture for Dale this winter.

I will be there Friday, Saturday, Sunday..........Next Friday, Saturday, Sunday........Next, Next Friday Saturday, Sunday.......Next, Next, Next, Friday, Saturday Sunday.........then I better take off Christmas.....AND then the week of New Years..............Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.......

Wohoo.........cannot Wait.

Later,

I had a similar incident a couple years back with a Merc. Got a temporary obstruction to the water intake, motor died, I sat there for about 5 minutes, tried to refire it, and it ran just fine from then out. I have to give Merc credit, sometimes their motors actually protect themselves from "doctor bills".
