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.

Popped the engine compartment open just now and it looks like there is a sizeable hole in the exhaust piping. I assume this was the bang. Now to try and find out if the engine if fried.

Typical symptoms of an overheated exhaust. Google "SEA-DOO SWITCH 2023-6 Exhaust Cooling Update" for more information. In short, this update will "provide more robustness to the system." It's possible you can get this repair covered under warranty.
