First Splash Didn't Happen on the 14th....3/19/25
by Capt Juls on 03/19/25If you were wondering....
Last Friday, I went to the launch to take the new Vexus out, so I could break in the 400 mere with a couple of hours of running around.
Unfortunately, while the boat was still sitting on the trailer (thankfully), and I was firing up the big motor and letting it warm up, before backing off....the bilge pump starting shooting so much water out of the hole that it looked like a rooster tail. That meant there was a ton of water coming in from the backend someplace.
Yes...I had the plug in and it was tight. The leak can only be coming from another fitting back there, that didn't get connected properly.
So, my boat finally went back to the dealer yesterday afternoon, for them to fix.
I'm hoping to have it back by Friday morning, so I can get out Friday, and get those break in hours on the motor.
My first trip is scheduled for the 30th.
With my permission, it wasn't water tested before I left the dealer with it....my bad.
However, it will be water tested before I bring it home this time. :)
Anyway....I'll start reporting as soon as I can get out.
Stay tuned....
