Waht caused the breakdown? What type motor and what brand oil do you use?
Had to have a powerhead replaced on my motor. The price for parts and labor was a little over $4,800 The dealer told me he could have sold my boat 75 times while he had it on the lot. I told him if that powerhead goes out after the warranty runs out, I'd let him sell it. WOW what a cost

Secretary of Da Fish!
They said the motor ran hot twice and asked me if I noticed and I told them that it never alarmed or showed anything abnormal on the gauges. I use the oil that it calls for which is quicksilver.
What Motor do you have? Year model? Just curious
Reaper, Where Fish come to Fry
Was it the waterpump, the gas/oil mix or something else?
EZ the waterpump was replaced also. The tech said it ran hot a couple times, but I had no way of knowing.
Just the post I was looking for. Are you still running this engine?
Reason I'm asking is that I have run across a 05 SeaArk with an 05 Optimax 90 and have been browsing the forum for the known issues with some of the Mercs. I am growing a little weary of buying this boat now.
be sure to get it compression checked also look at bass boat central there is a lot of good info on them
and replace the sendin unit. if the alarm didn't sound off the sendin unit is malfunctionin.
