I own a 2013 Malibu 22 MXZ. Impellor was changed in the spring of this year as I always do. Near the end of summer I took the boat out. After running maybe an hour the engine overheat light came on.The temp gauge showed 235. I shut the boat down and called my dealer. He advised me to tow the boat in. I immediately suspected an impellor failure because I had the exact thing happen to me with a 2012 Wakesetter I had owned. The brass spline in the impellor had stripped loose from the rubber. After I got the boat on the lift at home I removed the impellor and found it had stripped just like the previous one. I received a new impellor later that week installed it and took the boat out for a test spin and everything seemed normal. Not overheat alerts and the temp holding steady. I put the boat back on the lift and did not run her for about four weeks.
A couple of weeks ago I decide to take her out for a cruise before I did the winterization. The starter would not turn the engine over. I took the boat to the dealer. Thy are now telling me the manifolds are cracked, possible bent crankshaft and other damage and that Indmar will not cover it under their warranty because there is an overheat code on the boats computer. Am I wrong to feel like I'm getting screwed?On the 2012 Wakesetter Indmar paid for the repairs. The manifolds got so hot that the paint blistered. They then cracked.
Has anyone else had an experience like this.
