Recently purchased a 2000 ski supreme with 850 hrs. Was towing and bilge pump alarm went on. Stopped and emptied bilge. Continued towing and bilge alarm went off again. Emptied again. Continued towing and acceleration quit, and engine alarm went on. Turned off engine and let cool down. Then would not start (would only make a small clicking noise in what appears to be a relay). Batteries are fully charged, solenoid was replaced recently. Mechanic friend thought water may have gotten too high in the bilge and froze the starter. There is a 30 amp reset in the engine, seems to be ok-has a little play when pushing, but is probably set. Are there other resets and can these be faulty? Why would the acceleration quit? He also thought maybe the engine got too hot and it may have gone into limp mode? Does the 2000 Ski Supreme have this feature? If it is the starter, is it difficult to replace? Should the boat be taking on this much water (was not coming over the bow)?
Thanks for any input
