Toes In The Water

To post an update, I did not find what the problem was during last summer.  I took the boat out of storage last weekend and I started it back up.  My friend noticed that a module was smoking so we shut it down.  Took the boat to a shop and based on the drawings I looked at, it was the rev limiter module.  The mechanic that is currently working on my boat thinks that the small diaphram fuel pump could have caused the issue with the erradic rpms.  I will post an update once I get the bill from the boat shop.

 

boyd, where did you buy the diagnostic tool from and for how much?  if you do not mind me askIng.

Sorry for the late response, but I my manual is pretty generic and it doesn't give specifics on how to lubricate the cable.

I would assume that you can lubricate the cables on your Islandia. The engine manual for mine has a procedure on how to lubricate the cables and how often. I own a motorcycle and it is the exact same, the cables have to be lubricate every so often.

I bought a 2001 Islandia with the 240 EFI this year. I started looking for a Challenger when I found my boat. I use the boat for water sports or just hanging out with my friends. I would highly recommend the boat. Whatever you decide to buy, look for the service records and check the hours on the boat.

The boats that have the 240 EFI the maintenance is really easy. I've done everything myself, with the excepiton of changing out the gear lube for the jet pump.

It was a low battery alarm. The light in the dash was out so I replaced and put the battery on a trickle charger. Thanks!
