Thanks for the input! I guess I hadn't considered the fact it was 60 and raining. I was just thrown off because it was not something I had seen before.

2006 Optimax 115, SN: 1B498653, model #: 1115D73HY

I redid my water pump this spring, housing, impeller gaskets, etc.
Also did thermostat and poppet recently because of what I thought was an...

I have the motor mate, its awesome. Your transom is subjected to greater force on the water at WOT bouncing off waves than it is touching the trailer roller bouncing off of potholes. Worth the $$.

OK. One of the problems I had a couple weeks ago was I got an alarm that one of the forum members said was likely temp not coming up high enough after 5 min of idle. But that day the water was cold,...

It was my understanding that if left at idle the temp would eventually come up high enough to engage the thermostat. The water pressure seems fine, but isn't it a bad thing that the temp only comes...

Welp, took a few weeks to find the time and get on the water but I replaced the thermostat and poppet components and took her back out. Water pressure at idle was generally around 5.7psi, close to...

Just did it a couple weeks ago. I'll have my Stat and poppet components tomorrow so I'll be replacing those to correct the temp thing, but now I'm curious about the 6.5psi at idle.

So my water pressure at idle was 6.5 today. What other problem should I be looking into with water pressure rhat high at idle? It was about 14psi at wot

@SilverFox579, thanks for the info on that warning and the advice.

@06 SB, Thanks and understood. I only shut the motor off on impulse when I heard the warning beep and saw the thing pop up on my...

Water pressure was between 3-4psi at idle

Continuing on with this topic, took the boat out again yesterday and let it sit idle with the plan to let the engine heat up until the thermostats opened, and then go from there. It idles for like 10...

Thanks for the info. I was only providing those water pressure readings to give some context that the water pump appears to be working ok. I almost never take it to WOT so I was just reporting the...

Just took my boat out for the first trip of the year and noticed a cooling issue. It is an '06 Optimax 115, SN 1B498653, Model # 1115D73HY. When i started it I let it idle for a few minutes. Water...

Thank you!

I put a re-man Optimax 115 on my boat last year and it ran great. Brushing up on my de-winterizing protocol on here and I noticed Don saying in the fuel additives post that I don't need a water...

When I went to check pressure on the two schrader valves on the fuel rail I got fuel out of both. Which lead me to a torn tracker valve diaphragm. I can get the part, but do I need to have the...

Serial number of the motor is 1B498653. I bought it rebuilt at the beginning of this year. I have put a little over 6 hours on it according to the SmartCraft gauge and for the most part everything...

I did take the boat out again in the new lowered mounting position to to eliminate the variable of mounting height from the equation. It did not change anything, had the same water pressure as...

I just searched through the Procraft forums, didn't find anything relevant. I really thought I had the height set right but I will find out in a few hours. If lowering down a hole doesn't impact the...

Nope. Transducer is well off to the side, it's about 12" to the right of the motor roughly.

I bought a reman'ed 2008 115 Optimax for my 17.5' Procraft fish and ski and taken it out a few times to run through the break-in and ran into an issue with low water pressure. I have a system monitor...
