I have a 2006 Larson 248 LXI that I bought new from the dealer in 2006 in order to avoid the hassles of dealing with repairing a used boat. Little did I know that I'd end up with a Volvo 5.0 GXI (serial #4012173260) that has a penchant for blowing ECMs. (Volvo part #3863330) 1st time was covered under warranty, 2nd time cost me a bundle, 3rd time was 2 weeks ago and while the ECM was covered since it had been just under a year since I bought the 2nd it cost me quite a bit for diagnosis and repair.
Has anyone else ever had this occur or know anyone who has had a similar experience either with a recent Larson and/or Volvo I/O? The place that did the repairs and winterizations, Great Oak Marina in St. James, NY has been around forever so I assume they have done everything correctly, definitely considering action against Larson/Volvo since I feel the 1st occurrence was under warranty, 2nd and 3rd should have been as well since the issue has never been completely resolved.
Lastly, any thoughts as to what might be a cause the mechanics could miss? Anything with the slightest bit of corrosion was replaced, engine gets sprayed with CRC after cooling down when used, full tuneup was done about 30 hours ago (engine has 178 hours on it now)....Thanks!
