Pee Holes

[Brian 232]

Esteemed Sages,
Today we took our '06 SX230 HO out for an afternoon of floating. We go about a mile down river and anchor, float for a few hours, then the mile back to the trailer. When we got back to the trailer I heard a hissing as my wife drove the boat onto the trailer. I walked to the Starboard side and there was pressurized steam coming from the pee holes (no water streams at all). It was both sets. Any thoughts on what I should look for?

did you open the engine bay and check for leaks/disconnected hoses?

I did. Dry as a bone.

you need to test the lines, since its an older boat there could be calcite build up in your cooling lines/hoses. I never did this but i saw some post like blow it up with compressed air.

And check kinks in hoses that could block flow.

Did you have overheat light on the dash?

probably sucked up trash in the impeller and it reduced cooling water intake

check to see if there clear then run on the hose to see if it overheats or take it back to the lake and run it

Have you watched buckbucks cooling water video?

Both sets? Since both engines operate independently, I don't think you would have the same issue with both at the exact same time...
