Just purchased a 1998 Malibu sportster. Test drive, first two family trips out it has run flawlessly. No overheating, idles well, etc.
Did some maintenance today and noticed while hooked to a fake a lake that there is a small water leak port side of the engine. Not a stream just a drip every few seconds. There is a small crack just above the freeze plug where water is coming from. It has obviously been leaking a while because there is a rust trail. I know I should have seen it before purchasing but that’s neither here nor there now so please be gentle.
How bad is it? New motor? JB weld? Ignore it?https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0oJtdOXmjcppl
JB weld and ignore for this Summer. Figure out something else next Winter.

7 hours ago, Kojak said:@csleaveris correct, surf gate transfer alarm horn. It's on my 2015 23 LSV. Although I have to admit, it's getting harder for me to hear it. I usually watch the lights and time my transfer that way.
I don’t see anything like that on my 18 23LSV. Was it an option? The transfer beeps come from my tower speakers I believe.

How do I rule out the Viper II Black Box as my issue? I'm getting CAN 2 Error. I've checked almost every positive and ground connection for looseness and corrosion. We have brand new batteries. We had it working great last night for about 10 minutes and then the volume, blower, lights all stopped working again.· 5 replies

Just purchased my first boat last week. Can't wait to put her in the lake and see what she can do. A beautiful 1996 Malibu Response 20 (closed bow) that has been meticulously carred for by her first 2 owners. I am thrilled to be her 3rd owner. Found a diamond to behold. Should be a great boating season on the horizon. 🤞· 0 replies

I'll save a 2022 brochure for you. Waiting a week or two so I can make one trip to USPS instead of 12. Costs can be as high as nearly $20 to some addresses but you are close so will let you know.· 2 replies

I found rusty particles in my fuel injectors. I'm suspecting they came from bad gas from a gas station with old underground tanks. I'll be checking out my tank for the offending mass of rusty particles. I hope its not a failing fuel pump. Anyone find rusty particles after had to change out a fuel pump?· 0 replies
