      Quick update: my whole life is sanding now...

      spacer.png

      I'm working on fairing the deep scratches in my hull. Filling with a paste made from color matched gelcoat mixed with patch aid and fused silica.

      My plan is to do a light respray of the upper white and blue portions of the hull. Mostly to even out the color and fix up some areas where the gel is thin. I'll be using a harbor frieght pressure pot to spray gel cut with patch aid.

      Have been buying supplies from Sherfab in Ontario CA. Thier stock dark blue is a near dead on match for malibu's dark blue. If anyone has a hull the same color as mine, you can order my white color match under #52497 (I cut a chunk from my hull that never got sun exposure and sent it to them)

      I originally tried spectrum color. Wow are they overpriced and the color match was awful!

    • Hello,  I have a 2019 MLX with the 409 Monsoon.   The boat is throwing a SPN:441 FMI:15 code.  I swapped the Manifold temp sensors with no Luck.  Checked strainer and all hoses.  Any ideas if it could be the small breather tube or?  Appreciate the help.  Thanks 

    • Hello. I am having a similar issue with a 2019 MLX 409 Monsoon.  The boat throws a SPN:441 FMI:15 Bank 1 High Manifold temperature (stage 1) and a  SPN:441 FM:0.  Puts the boat in limp mode for 2 seconds and you can only see the codes on the inactive screen.  Boat never gets higher than 165 degrees. Checked everything list above as well as swapped the Manifold Temp sensors. Still throws the same code and more times each day. 
       

      Any ideas on what to do next, before I take to the dealer?  6 hour round trip. Does anyone know how many Thermostats this engine has or where they are located?  Thanks. 

    • Pump assembly went back together under 20 min. I’m going to grab a set of allen heads for a ratchet (5/16 and 1/4) as well as a small set of sockets (9/16 is required for the arm that connects to the block). If I had those, it would have gone back together in less than 10 min. The biggest pain in the butt on the whole thing was getting the hoses connected back, which in the future I’ll probably do before I put it back on. This is the way to change the impeller if you are in my situation (really tight muffler). 

    • I went to trailer.com and got sealed bearings, brakes, rotors abd tires. Entire assembly. Check what available there
