I have a 1997 Sea Ray bowrider. It is an SR210 with a 250HP, 5.7L engine, non-EFI.
I threw a rod recently.
The mechanic thinks water went up the exhaust hose(s) to cause this. He said we had too many people on the boat. We had 10 people, with a total of about 1400 lbs. It is rated for 10 and 1600 lbs.
I can't believe the boat is designed in such a way that this could happen. Incidentally, we did not "stop short" allowing a wave to wash into the transom. Also, exhaust manifolds were new.
Any thoughts about this? Have you come across it before?
Thanks.
