Morning, Got my boat back out on the water yesterday for the first time since Oct. Ive been installing new electronics and some other odds and ends. Was pretty excited to get out and give them a try. But I ran into some engine problems. I have a 2006 Merc. XR6, that was last serviced in Aug. 07 (replaced water pump, plugs, etc…). I got the boat in the water. Idled for about 5 minutes, then putted out to the main channel, another 3 minutes, then brought it up on plane for 45 seconds. Then, the alarm went off and I shut it down. In that brief 45 sec. I did see good water pressure. Couldnt see anything wrong so I fired it back up, the alarm sounded again, looked at the back of the motor and saw that no water was coming out. Shut it down, used the TM to get to a protected cove and looked at it further. Nothing was blocking the “pee” hole, and cant see anything blocking the intake. So used the TM to get back to the launch. Fired it back up to get it on the trailer (no alarm). So, is there a possibility that I may have damaged the motor in this short amount of time? Is there anything that I can do short of taking it to a Merc. mechanic? What could it be, something sucked through the intake and blocking? Thanks for your help. Jason
