2002 Wakesetter Spring Servicing Question
formulaben replied to Parkerbw85's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Great advice from @Steve B.. I always go out by myself or with one trusted crew member on the first outing of the year. I typically have the exterior polished and waxed, and I'm in no hurry as it's usually an empty ramp anyway. I will be sure to have nothing big planned except maybe a fun interior cleaning session with a sack lunch while I make sure she's good to go... I will keep her still attached to the trailer (bow stop) and patiently check her over and look for any leaks. Let her come up to temp while you look at all the operating specs (oil pressure, water temp, system voltage) with the engine hatch open and ensure that all is good; no fuel leaks, exhaust risers not getting hot and no obvious water leaks. This is also a good time to fill ballast to visually check for leaks, as those ballast bag threaded adapters seem to need a little hand tightening every season it seems. A shaft packing may have shrunk/dried out during winter, so it's OK to have some water coming in from that area, but otherwise it should be a low-stress time to make sure all is well before having the pressure of guests/crew/family unintentionally coercing you to expedite the process. Next, I head out and just do a fun ride to make sure all is well with the drivetrain and then find a fun place to park and finish any needed interior cleaning while I selfishly get to choose my tunes and enjoy the spring sun...simple pleasures. Doing this early in the season gives me confidence that when the "boating friends" show up for the first 'real' outing I won't be embarrassed with any issues to ruin my day on the lake, and the boat will look great too. -

02 sensor and 4 other fault codes 2017 raptor 6.2
Cole2001 replied to Double UP 1080's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Most likely O2 codes. On the raptor when the O2’s go it freaks out and throws a bunch of other codes. Best bet is to have dealer run diacom and see what the issue is. Likely dont need to replace all. If you haven’t looked at this diagnostic manual take a look. https://www.bakesonline.com/media/resourcelibrary/Indmar_09-10ECMmanualv1.2.pdf -

uk_exile replied to SkipGundlach's topic in Modifications & Accessories
Indeed! That Indy does look a lot like to Titan 3 due to the rear leg curves. Love my Titan 3. Co-incidentially I added an Indy tower mounted bimini last summer. Good price, good quality and fits well. It still lets me lower the tower when I need to too. https://www.indywakeboardtowers.com/wakeboard-tower-bimini-tops/7/ -
02 sensor and 4 other fault codes 2017 raptor 6.2
csleaver replied to Double UP 1080's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Check your system voltage, and the main power and ground connections first. Problems with the batteries, charging system, battery connections, power distribution post, or engine ground can cause those codes. Remove the air fuel O2 sensors and check them for signs of moisture or rust. Also, check the catalyst substrate in the exhaust pipes for damage. -

Yeah they will be but was trying to self diagnose first; thinking re do all 4 O2 sensors (both pre and post cat) and see what happened…1150+ hours -

Have a dealer hook up to it and then run it. You will be able to watch what is happening real time. Best way to diagnose problems on the new engines. -

Has anyone had any of these 6 fault codes? 2017 23LSV raptor 6.2L. They are active/inactive and go away comeback intermittently within minutes…very strange; I figured O2 sensor related but didn’t know pre cat or post cat for the first 2… Oxygen A fuel trim high (short term bank 1) SPN 4236 FMI:0 oxygen B fuel trim high (short term bank 1) SPN 4238 FMI:0 EGO2 open/lazy SPN 3227 FMI:5 Air/fuel sensor 2/1 (UEGO2) pump cell slow… SPN 3264 FMI:10 EGOH3 open/ground short SPN 3261 FMI:4 Air/fuel sensor 2/1 (UEGO2) sense cell impedance?

Maybe loosen them again and get them spinning easily, then incrementally torque in a criss-cross pattern while making sure they still turn easily. -

Woodhead replied to Woodhead's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Ok now I have it all put back together and I can’t turn the shafts without vise grips is that normal? They turned real easy by hand before I torqued them down? -

justgary replied to Woodhead's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Good work so far. Torque is normally set by the fastener and material it is made from, so using standard torques from a chart should be just fine. -

Extreme Boat Trailer. Wheel seized, locked up
wdr replied to kirklandmalibu's topic in Trailers & Tow Rigs
When I replaced the front axle on my 2010 BoatMate I cleaned it, and rattle canned the primer and used some Mercruiser black lower unit paint I had from years earlier. Still looked brand new when I sold it 4 years later. It was stored indoors so I am sure that helped. -
Extreme Boat Trailer. Wheel seized, locked up
kirklandmalibu replied to kirklandmalibu's topic in Trailers & Tow Rigs
Ok. Moving the process along. Seems consensus on Torsion axle issue for this thread and talking to local trailer experts. Talked to Extreme and have replacement axle on the way. It is unfinished. Any suggestions on painting? -
2016 indmar V drive grinding
Woodhead replied to Woodhead's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Ok I am NOT just living with the grinding. I have taken the unit apart and found the culprit. The output shaft main bearing and race have been grinding each other to a fine metal. After pressing off the bearing and the race I have tracked new ones down and have reinstalled. I am now wondering what the torque is for bolting this vdrive back together. I am just going to use standard torques for a 3/8 bolt and some blue lock tight and call it good. The gears still looked great. I had to get new seals for the input and output shafts, the last one coming today. Any one know what the torque is for bolting this back together is? I have pictures of all this but can’t figure out how to attach or add to this post? -
2002 Wakesetter Spring Servicing Question
Steve B. replied to Parkerbw85's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Don't mind me adding, that when you do first start the engine that it always stay's out of gear. Immediately look for oil pressure on the gauge and water exiting both exhaust ports within seconds. Look for leaks. Hopefully no alarms, and you can slowly let it warm up near idle, with the transmission lock-out engaged so it cannot go into gear and spin the prop shaft while warming up. Watch the temp gauge also and exhausts again and make sure the temp will not shoot up and overheat for whatever reason. Keep a fire extinguisher around, and hopefully someone to give a 2nd hand and eyes. -

M5di Cylinder Numbers?
csleaver replied to ice9v2's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Fault SPN 1329 FMI 11 occurs when there is a misfire detected on cylinder 7. Cylinder 7 is on the A bank of GM engines, which is on the starboard side of v-drive boats. The A bank cylinders are numbered 1, 3, 5, 7 on the starboard side, starting from the aft and moving forward towards the bow. The B bank cylinders are numbered 2, 4, 6, 8 on the port side, starting from the aft and moving forward towards the bow. -

Engine Load Comparisons WOT vs Surfing
granddaddy55 replied to dizzygti's topic in General Discussion Area
biggest hurt you can put on a motor is running lower rpms surfing heavy ballasted loads (lugging). higher rpms is better for heavy loads. i run with only dry weight, ballast and lead (no passengers or batteries or equipment ) 11785 lbs. i prefer having the rpms 36-4000 (speed 11.4) especially since the real load is more like 12,500-1300 with crew , gear and ice chests. doing this at 33-3600 is harder on the motor - Yesterday

2002 Wakesetter Spring Servicing Question
Steve B. replied to Parkerbw85's topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Definitely call them and ask if you aren't familiar. As said above, make sure that impeller is in, block drain plugs, knock sensor, hoses, etc. Including battery hook up. Dealers leave them in different states of ready, a quick call won't hurt. -
OK, on my 2020 M5di I've got a fault code of SPN 1329, FMI 11. So, to save myself some work (I am extremely lazy, in this respect), can anyone tell me the cylinder numbering scheme on the M5 so I can check the appropriate spark plug, etc.? I can't figure out how to to add a picture using the Crew interface, but here's a link to comment on. And yes, 3 is now a letter https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zabfn9i4oriehhzukb4ka/cylinders.jpg?rlkey=tgtazjk6e1o600uc9s59vui1g&dl=0 Many thanks!
