burnt rubber smell

[mdchachi]

Hi.

I have a 2018 AR 195 and yesterday I noticed a burnt rubber smell. I smelled it briefly on the water but didn't think much of it but when I took the boat out and ran the engines to blow out the muffler, it was very distinct. Plus it sounds a little abnormal. Kind of "squeaky." What should I look for? Something to do with the impeller?

I would check the coupler at the rear of the engine. There is a cover that needs to be removed so that you can get access to it.

I would remove the cover over the clean out plugs and inspect the plumbing in that area. There is a lot of it feeding the water boxes/resonators/mufflers.
