[RICH2113]

MODEL #E150DPLSU SERIAL # 05175561 2007 150 E-TECH with about 20 hours on it useing XD100 oil truning a 24 raker 2 at 3.5 below the pad . the middle cly. on the portside spark pulg sliver looking when pulled.
What would cause the power head to blow-up ?

[mjwray]

A lot of things could have caused it, but the important thing is BRP will have you back on the water faster than any other MFG out there , they usually ship fully dressed power heads so everything up top is new.The only thing that they changed for my last power head for my 150 HO was to return it to the XD-50 setting, but I still run the XD-100 in it.

ouch
Was the computer set at XD50 ??????
let us know how your dealer and BRP take care of it...... hope you're back on the H2O soon........

[RICH2113]

do they use rebuilt power heads or new ones

[RICH2113]

the motor was set for the XD100

[mjwray]

complete new ones, nothing rebuilt.

[RICH2113]

I hope so. you don't even know how much problems I have had scents I bought this new boat and motor . things are getting taken care of but its been in the dealer 1 month and at the factory 3 months and now the engine blows up Aim going crazy Aim not bashing I have been very nice though this hole or deal with help from lea

1 month at the dealer for repairs? I have lost 2 power heads, dropped of at dealer on Saturday, they informed BRP, and all I know for me and others most of the time power heads are overnighted and was installed in 4 hours I think, was back on the water within 3 days never any longer! I wish ya better luck! Matt

The longest a boat has sat at the dealer here for a powerhead replacement was 5 business days....Customer dropped it off on Monday morning and picked it up Friday afternoon...

Your dealer really needs to call the BRP tech line and get them involved to help figure out what the heck is going on with your motor.

[RICH2113]

AB the 1 month at the dealer and 3 months at the factroy was just for the problems with the boat. got the boat in Feb 2- 2007. The dealer made out a work order and all ready taked to BRP

[AB]

Ok, sorry, I thought that it was in that long for motor issues....

Don't worry, BRP will make quick work of this and get you right back on the water! They have one of the fastest response times in the industry and the way they handle warranty claims is what made me stick with Evinrude when I was trying to figure out what to put on my next boat.

[RICH2113]

Dose BRP have any idea what causing this problem ?

[mjwray]

Could be one of many things, to many to list(That all manufactures have), but I will tell you this, my current power head runs strong, stronger than my other ones, I was like you also, skeptical of what I have got, but with the way BRP backs there products and makes sure you get back on the water my skepticism went away, I am now completely confident in my new power head where i have made 45 mile one way trips up river, and never thought twice about the motor. BRP will make it right, trust me on that!! MAtt

Any number of things could have made it blow. Bad injector, factory defect, bad emm, list goes on...that's why BRP sends a fully dressed powerhead, they want to make sure the at-fault component does not get transfered to the new powerhead.

[RICH2113]

really a bad emm could make this blow the power head cause last weekend the motor over heated when the motor was checked it showed that the emm unit over heated not the motor. had water psi when it over heated the engine shut down to 1200 rpms.

You know, losing 2 powerheads on a new engine doesn't sound to me like it is a good deal. So what if the dealer takes care of you. The best warranty out there is the one you never have to use.


I would have this engine set for the XD50 oil. I think you are just asking for trouble running at the XD100 setting.

[RICH2113]

This is the first power head

[Mr.LEAD]

Rich2113's 2008 full dress powerhead is on the way....should be back on the H2o soon

[RICH2113]

Good news thanks

[Lockjaw]

I was talking about the other guy who was boasting about how good the customer service was and is on his 3rd power head.

I hope they get these issues worked out, because I really like BRP, their Seadoo's rock.
