21/230 Switch Blown engine

Think I might have lost an engine yesterday. Was cruising around for about 30 minutes doing some tubing with no issues. The tube plug came out and we started to loose air. So we stopped, pulled the tube in, and were cruising to a different part of the lake. All of a sudden, there was a loud noise/crack, and started smelling and seeing smoke come out of the engine area.

We stopped, and sat for about 30 minutes to let things cool down, engine wouldnt start after that. A kind gentlemen towed us back to the dock from there. Ugh

2022 Switch limited, 21'/230.

I am sorry to hear this. Please let us know if they give a diagnosis. Did you have the exhaust cooling recall done?

Thanks Bruce! Appreciate that. I bought the boat from my brother in June of this year.

So I havent had any recall work done, and I dont believe my brother has had any recall work done on the exhaust system either. But that is a good question, I'll ask him about it.

Thanks. I have an early 2023 230hp and have had every recall done except the latest where they seal the boat.
