Stockton 3/31

[nxs]

Put in a Ruark yesterday. Water run from 52* early up to 58* later in the day. Had motor trouble (?) right off the bat again. Been an ongoing issue for the last 2 trips. As luck would have it boat was running pretty good but decided to take it to shop and have it tuned and new water pumps put in the Merc 175 and the 9.9. Now 175 runs rough seems low on power and has a constant alarm that goes off about 1 minute after getting up on plane. The alarm is coming from the dash of my 1800 Lund. So far no one seems to know what the alarm is for. Nothing shows up on the computer check. So if anyone has an idea I'd appreciate a heads up. It has been back to the shop twice and is going back today.

As for the fishing. We caught a couple of whites up in Sons and some short bass and a few crappie most being short. We did get into some keeper crappie then this boat came in and run over the top of that spot and that was the end of that. Crappie still seem to be scattered and are starting to get some color to them.

Boat = money pit !!!!!

could be low oil alarm, or maybe overheat alarm

It may be the oil reserve tank float. My Opti did that a couple of years ago. A new upper oil tank took care of the problem.

Talked to my dad said sounds like an oiling problem. Not getting enough.

Your motor has a safety that will shut down engine power when the oil pump is faili g, and sets off alarm when this happens.

thanks for the advice but most of that has suppose to have been checked out.

They keep talking about the power pack maybe going bad. Sure it's another expensive fix.

But I'm not going to start putting on parts just too see if that fixes the problem

.

I'm going to give the shop til first of the week to come up with a fix then I'll have to take it to a Lund dealer or ??? and hope they can sort it out.

What I get for having something worked on that was running fine but it had been several years since anything was serviced and I thought I was being smart trying to get a head of any problems before spring fishing started.
