Club member blew his Yamaha Friday on Guntersville.

Luckily still under warranty.

Thats terrable good thing its still covered!! Something like that would make me soil my shorts!!

I think you can JB weld that hole closed.

I thought the same thing after I saw it.

Looks like a cold seize. If the water/air was very cold it can happen. May or may not be covered. Hopefully it is. Keep us posted, and yes, the block may be repaireable, but don't try JB Weld. If it can be, only a specialized shop can do it right. Gonna be a lot more to repair that block than what you see.

There is a shop up in Minnesota or the Wisconsin area that specializes in this type of repair. If you need the number, let me know and I will find it for you.

Good luck,

Jack

Water was in the low 40s, air about the same.

Same sort of thing happened to me during the Kentucky BR roadtrip.  >

Impressive pictures though.

Cold seize, warm those puppies up before hammering down. I had a thread about a month ago here talking about it.

This happened late in the day.  We launched at 6AM.

I think the only way to fix it is to melt it down and make it a Merc.

The guy who towed him back to the ramp made sure I got a photo of a Pro Craft towing a Ranger back to the ramp.   ;D

Duct tape and bondo.  Problem solved.

Thats a nasty hole right there.  That'd tick me off something fierce...
