Beyond my "taking on water" dilema, things got worse Sunday. Had the boat in for about a 1 hour run, ran the bilge 3-4x (with nobody getting in the water.)... then threw anchor for about an hour to float and have an adult beverage. Went to fire it up and...... all systems dead. During float time- no radio, key in the off position.
After 30 minutes of cussing, I called sea tow. They said 1.5 hours till on scene. I started looking in battery box. I found what appeared to be a breaker with a red button on one side and an arm that was dropped to the 6 oclock position. I pushed it back into its spot, and threw on my jumper box. It started at 99% right after I connected red/black to battery and somewhat quickly started counting down on %. but it was enough t0 fire up the motor all is well or so I thought. CX the sea tow, I'm heading to the ramp! Motor ran fine for about 5 minutes then I thought I was bumping the bottom. Motor started to shake, chug, as if I were. However, I was in 9 ft of water. It ran another minute and died right in the busy channel. Wind blew me out and I set anchor and awaited sea tow. Battery completely dead on re-start attempts. I used the jumper box to get the trim up for the sea tow/trailer home. Now I have an appointment with Marine Max a month out. Anyone want to by a boat? Any idea how/IF the warranty will cover this? Is sea ray good on their product? Background: 2020 spx 190. I purchased it 3 weeks ago. I also transferred the 5 year Mercury warranty.
