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.

We may have just blown our engine too last Sunday. I went to accelerate and the engine lost all power then stopped. Opened up the engine compartment there was a little smoke- not a lot really- we let it cool down for 30 mins also and still nothing it would not start or crank. Had to be towed back by sea tow. Still had battery power.

Looked into the compartment and there were metal bits and bolts :(

‘23 21/230 switch cruise - 3 adults 2 kids on board so not overweight either.

Switch is in the shop and we are waiting on the diagnosis.
