Have a new customer that recently bought a new to him 2013 boat. This was a Guide Boat with Mercury 225 ProXs. The motor had just undergone a 500 hr service when he purchased it. Customer brought in the boat so we could check a engine code for a alarm he was getting. When we plugged in the motor to our software we were able to get code for injector fault and it was intermittent. This immediately points to fuel system and injector sticking and being gummed up. Informed the customer of the issue and told him we need to look in the VST, and Injector screens and see whats going on? Below is what we found.
You must realize this is not a boat just sitting around with stale fuel! It's 3 years old with 500 hrs on it.
I would have figured that at 500 hrs the entire fuel system would have been cleaned? Also it appears that someone has been over dosing a green know stabilizer? due to the blue greenish jelly in the bottom of VST tank. Overdosing is bad as well!
We recommend at every 200 hrs or 2 years of service the fuel system in it's entirety is properly cleaned and serviced. Yes it's more money on a service, but eventually it will catch up and cost more.
Just felt I should share this.
