The transmission is overheating activating the boats computer into the get home mode. Instead of rebuilding the transmission it was replaced as a new unit and the same problem exists. The water pump on the engine was replace and so was the transmission cooler prior to replacement but the new unit is doing the same thing. Since this a friends boat I think it is a 1082 transmission. Another tid bit of information the new trans section is running at 130 degrees and the rear reduction unit will get up to 210 degrees in about 15 minutes of turning 3200 rpm's. My gut feeling was water flow issues possibly the exhaust manifolds or the engine heat exchanger partialy clogged not allowing good water through put.<br />Has anyone had these issues with this unit that I may can steer my buddy towards resolution. I haven't seen this personally but I'm beginning to think the mech at the yard are quacks and not addressing the real nature of the problem. He has blindly now got quite a few bucks tied up in this issue and I am just getting invloved. Sounds like an excuse to go to Carolina Beach for the weekend.<br />any thoughts???????????????????
