Taylor, I’m an old school boater, wood boats and my 16’ Checkmate boat had a air scoop facing forward to grab air as the craft moved forward, and another facing in the rear for air/ heat to escape. I did not notice a forward facing scoop. My thinking is the ambient air temperature inside the engine compartment rises enough to set the heat sensor off. To prove this, ride with your deck cover slightly open, use a block of wood, and something to hold the engine cover from opening while running top speed. This may be the trick. Let us know in the next video.
The one on the passenger side is facing forward and the other side is facing the opposite direction. My guess is that the sound deadening is trapping in the heat.
I'm a water skier and not a jet boater but I have a suggestion as I have been around and worked on boats all my life. A problem with jet boats in racing is actually the intake. When the hull is plaining very fast the water pickup is sometimes too high at the rear stopping enough water entering the motor and so the water gets hotter in the motor and setting of your sensor. Finnigan had a similar problem with his jet boat and was able to repair it by adjusting the water intake. Don't look at the exhaust or restrict the water flow. When marine motors are revving they need a lot of motor pushing through them and any restriction will not fix the problem. I hope this may help. KR
A suggestion… add some brace tubes from the swim platform extension down to the tubes that hold the jet head. It will massively strengthen everything up. They can be bolt on if access is an issue
For ROTAX..Drill out the restrictor washer to 1/2. Water should go from sand trap to a Y. oneside to intercooler to exhuast in. The other side of y to heat exchanger-exit hull. ALL 3/4 LINES
It’s your all black outfit that is tripping that alarm. We are going to need a light shirt and bright coral colored shorts on the next test run. 😁 Hang in there you will get it working correctly.
Awesome work mate. I use a large roll of craft paper for templates, rub a grubby finger over the edges to mark them and then cut it out, much easier than cardboard when you have vertical edges on the sides you need to fit between 👍
Taylor, it makes me so nervous that you don't have one of those kill switch lanyards that kill the boat if you fall out. Especially when your ripping out there solo status. If you fell out I think the boat would keep going leaving you stranded! IDK really if it's necessary but I think it's a good safety feature to think about. Other then that she's a ripper for sure!!
@@eag8999 Most of my jet skis didn’t come with the kill switch from the factory. Back in the day, they just dropped to idle, the steering went to one side and they would just circle. If they are running away, it’s because someone added a throttle lock, or they didn’t maintain it and shouldn’t have put it in the water in the first place.
Taylor there is a chemical called Ox-Out. It’s marketed as a flag pole cleaner but it’s like a more chemically pure version of Aluminum wheel cleaner. We use it at work for cleaning up aluminum weld joints. It removes the oxide layer and gives you fresh clean aluminum to weld to. You should try it!
I just delt with the same issue on my 07 seadoo gti. Replaced sensor and cleaned j pipe, still had code. Turns out it was the wear ring all along. Also you have to clear the code from the ecu. The local marina helped me out with that one lol
Taylor, I might have an idea for the exhaust. I think you're onto something when you mention steam, but I really don't think it's overheating. When you are moving at a slow speed water is building up in the muffler keeping the sensor cool. When you are running the boat hard, the same amount or a little bit more water is going into the muffler but a whole lot more exhaust and a lot hotter exhaust gas is going into the muffler. The exhaust gas is doing 2 things at high rpm. it's super heating the water and atomizing it since the exhaust is flowing through so fast. You improved the time it takes to set off the overheat warning by installing restrictors in the hoses but it wasn't enough to keep the sensor cool at wide open running. That baffle might have been installed to slow the flow of water through the muffler or keep the sensor in liquid. It's just a thought. Maybe relocating the sensor to a spot where it would be in a stream of water? Another thing you could try is, removing the sensor using an ohm meter and a thermometer heat up a pot of water, put the sensor in and read what temp the sensor closes. Is there a engine temp gauge? Is it reading hot when the warning goes off? Could you just eliminate the muffler all together? How about installing an exhaust pyrometer? I'm looking at some and their temp ranges are 0-1600° Other than the over heat warning the boat is really coming along nice.
Careful with the restrictor on the output; you’re risking blowing a headgasket without a water pressure gauge. 12psi is the typical max you want. If it was my boat, instead of running a restrictor, I would run a gate valve (NOT A BALL VALVE) so you can fine tune your water flow.
A mate of mine has a svho supercharged jet boat that had same problem, he run a second sand trap to run a extra water inlet for the exhaust to stop the sensor going off
I love that feature of Amazon that tells you you've ordered something before, I've ordered so many assortments of small parts just because they were on a lightning deal and then promptly forgot about them in a cabinet somewhere.
I would add some tubes from the corners of the platform down to those lower tubes just for some added support. Also maybe add some of that foam mat that some people put on the decks of those boats. (Commenting before the end of the video, so maybe you do that)
So cool to see how that turned out. You could consider connecting the swim platform to those pipes below for extra support. I know the platform on our boat had support struts. Still so cool to see you build this, I freakin love it.
I had this same problem on my 215 rotax and it kicked my butt. I ended up having a tiny boost leak on output side of my supercharger. Might be something to check from SC to intake. Mine was about 1/4” slit that was only visible under load and I got exhaust overheating in sport mode at WOT.
Can we meet your neighbor? Has he shown any interest in being on video? Seems like a super nice dude. I love seeing people out making friends with their neighbors. haha
Love the boat! I guess wearing a life vest is similar to wearing a motorcycle helmet, it takes using your brain. It's not a canoe, it's a fast boat! Geez Taylor, I thought you were smarter. I like your videos, I want to see more of them. Your life seems pretty cool, please do your "vest" to stick around.
If you can get that same diamond pattern pad that's on the inside for the outside, would be fire! I thought that's what you were doing and the gray stuff peeled off but then I realized that was the finished product lol good progress though and great vid
In defense of using two sticks of tubing, its way easier to get it right. I bend pipes for a living as a electrician, and back to back bends 90's or in this case right angles are a mother fucker for a lot of sparkies, let alone a dude in a garage that doesn't know about shrinkage and deducts. Good job Taylor!
Hey Taylor, love the boat content, one suggestion i have is to double clamp all of your hoses. Would hate to see the boat take on water because of a clamp failure.
First of all, heatwave visual needs to sponsor you. And second this boat would be perfect behind the little green Chevy truck. Can’t wait to see what you do next
Temps were the same between the two boats because they were in the same body of water. Doesn’t mean that you don’t have a bad head gasket or a crack in the system.
EXHAUST ISSUE. What about putting the sensor on the bottom of the exhaust instead of the top where the steam is. It should then just be in hot water???? Billy J..... Queensland Australia.
Yup, also maybe shorten the bung it fits into so the sensor head sits in the muffler instead of in the tube because that could possibly trap hotter water/gas in the bung itself right where the sensor is..
When doing vinyl work I would highly recommend using something called Rapid Tac. Used it at the sign shop I worked at and it makes a huge difference when you go to apply it. Just spray the back of the vinyl with it before you start to apply it, then just work out the bubbles with a squeegee. Windex also works in a pinch but Rapid Tac works the best.
I love the sound of the rain coming and going during the time lapses. Also, it's really cool to watch your videos with some of the behind the scenes perspective I gained from your show with Cooper. You've got a great presence and (for me anyway) it's always fun to watch, no matter what the metrics say :)
Nice job! I love watching you and your projects. Nice job on the swim platform as well. Reminded me of when I built one for a large yacht. It was 16’ wide, 5’ long and had several removable 3’ tall handrails. Took six months to build. Covered it with Plas-deck instead of sea-deck. Not as soft but much more durable.
I wonder if that canister/resonator is cavitating by the sensor when you rip on it. would make since why its fine when its going slow/cruising. maybe look into different design or placement of sensor.
A suggestion here it might be an idea to put a piece of tubing on either side going from the platform down to the lower gard to create a log gard for the jet especially for when you are in reverse as there could be semi floaters that could not be visible
I wonder if you should try removing the restrictors you put in now that you got that piece out of the exhaust. Maybe also add the horns back to the bucket now that you have the platform back there. Seems like they will help it back up way better.
Dang man I am seriously invested in what will fix this exhaust issue! I gotta know what the fix is, I NEED IT! The boat also looks way better without the beer logo.
I think you’re on the right track with steam in your exhaust. You could see (the steam, even in hot Florida sun) it come out of the water after you started going again after it alarmed when you were ripping it. I think you’re getting too much air in your exhaust water intake. This is occurring mostly during hard rips, high speeds likely because you’re higher on plane and further out of the water. See about changing your exhaust water INTAKE geometry.
If I was having this consistent temp issue, I'd put flow and temp sensors in a few places and record what is going on. Without that data, you'll always be guessing. I'm suspecting its cavitation within your flow, thats causing air bubbles and steam to get trapped around the sensor. I will admit though, I have no idea how that muffler works with cooling (just it just inject the exhaust in with water directly?). As usual though Taylor, fantastic video, always find your content enjoyable and entertaining to watch. Personally, I'd go high gloss Black body, Red (where the blue is now), and chrome for all the trim/accessories, and wrap the painted windshield to match the red. This would help the grey wetdeck to match nicely.
I remember you checking the resistance on the sensor, but check the voltage at full throttle, make sure your not over powering your sensor and or underpowered
taylor sounds like you might be getting cavitation in the exhaust box at speed that would cause the warning light the other thing you could try is putting another water box on it and see if it still has problems maybe borrow your mates one if that fails i would be looking at the ecu to see if it is faulty OR if it has been tuned and not been calibrated properly cheers from down under
Taylor, The boat looks great! I agree, the mismatch grey is a bit hard to ignore, especially looking down the front of the boat. I wonder if the placement of the sensor is not your problem. My first question would be... What exactly is the sensor's purpose? Most temp sensors identify the coolant operating temperature for safety margin. It seems to me that the sensor should be placed closer to the engine exit port rather than at the exaust y pipe. Another consideration is exhaust pipe size. If most jet boat guys remove the baffle to improve flow, do they also increase that exhaust a size or 2 as well? Just thinking out loud. Honestly, I would take some pictures of your friend's engine setup and do a close comparison of shape, size, angles, and flow patterns to see what might be different. Sometimes it can be a subtle change that goes unnoticed at a glance. I would compare the direction each port and connection is facing as well as double checking exactly where the back pressure and merge are suppose to occur. Like you said... It's got to something simple, just a matter of seeing it.🤙
you can see steam coming out of the back when your on and off throttle i know some jet drives have restrictors from the jet drive you might not be getting enough pressure
Taylor, I’m an old school boater, wood boats and my 16’ Checkmate boat had a air scoop facing forward to grab air as the craft moved forward, and another facing in the rear for air/ heat to escape. I did not notice a forward facing scoop. My thinking is the ambient air temperature inside the engine compartment rises enough to set the heat sensor off. To prove this, ride with your deck cover slightly open, use a block of wood, and something to hold the engine cover from opening while running top speed. This may be the trick.

Try hoodless to check thet
it has air intake vents for the engine bay on each side of the boat.
@@sirmonkey1985they look like they’re facing the opposite direction
@@Riley180sxThey will suck air out facing that way and not allow a bunch of water in.
The one on the passenger side is facing forward and the other side is facing the opposite direction. My guess is that the sound deadening is trapping in the heat.

Wrong
Normal jet boats don't race they water ski. Behind jet boat maxoum draft mire water deapth
A suggestion… add some brace tubes from the swim platform extension down to the tubes that hold the jet head. It will massively strengthen everything up. They can be bolt on if access is an issue
first thing I thought as well
Rob Dahm was just talking about this type of stability in his last video
Lol I watched that video too, and was thinking the same thing.
Came to the comments to say the same thing. If nothing else, at least some peace of mind when standing on it that it won’t break
For ROTAX..Drill out the restrictor washer to 1/2. Water should go from sand trap to a Y. oneside to intercooler to exhuast in. The other side of y to heat exchanger-exit hull. ALL 3/4 LINES
This was prime Saturday morning entertainment. Reminiscent of the old power block days.
My thoughts exactly! Saturday morning coffee material! 😎👍🏻
I don't know about you all but I'm loving these longer videos
Untill everyone starts making hour long videos and it takes forever to watch them all
Cool to see Taylor getting into the mini jet boat stuff. Very unique boat design I must say. Looks good 👍
Love your builds and attention to detail . Also cool how you talk to your audience like we are part of your team!
Add some red vinyl stars on the front and it will tie in the red decking
Man that temp issue sure is persistent!!!! Really hope you get it sorted man!
It’s your all black outfit that is tripping that alarm. We are going to need a light shirt and bright coral colored shorts on the next test run. 😁 Hang in there you will get it working correctly.
Yeah who wears all black on a boat? lol
Awesome work mate. I use a large roll of craft paper for templates, rub a grubby finger over the edges to mark them and then cut it out, much easier than cardboard when you have vertical edges on the sides you need to fit between 👍
The vette wrap would look good on the boat.
50:48 that's a 20 footer at least, and who's ever that close on the water 😎🤙
19:24 had to take an intermission for a second to go listen to lil scrappy.
Taylor, it makes me so nervous that you don't have one of those kill switch lanyards that kill the boat if you fall out. Especially when your ripping out there solo status. If you fell out I think the boat would keep going leaving you stranded! IDK really if it's necessary but I think it's a good safety feature to think about. Other then that she's a ripper for sure!!
I think with the finger triger it should go to idle, would still go on but not at full speed
It will stay on plane and be an uncontrolled missile
@@eag8999No it won’t. With a normal boat throttle that you don’t have to hold, that can be a problem, but not with the finger throttle.
@@adamr9215 so you havent seen a runaway jet ski before?
@@eag8999 Most of my jet skis didn’t come with the kill switch from the factory. Back in the day, they just dropped to idle, the steering went to one side and they would just circle.

You're amazing with your problem solving skills. One day I hope to have one. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
All the rain falling during the sped-up clips of making the frame for the dive platform around the 30:45 mark = sounds like a round of applause!!
Put a cage and a roof on before you get it wrapped. Would be a cool fab project.
I was excited when I saw the notification and was absolutely stoked when I started watching it and realized the video is about an hour long 🤩
Getting rid of the blue and wrapping a black/grey/red is gonna look sweet and tie it all together
thing adding a red stripe diagonally over the logo would be a good look.
You're welcome!
That swim platform was my idea!!

look at the water injection holes inside the outlet of the exhaust mani, they block up since there quite small

You got to get the pro car out to 1 of the LZ world tour events. I think you would kill it and be a awesome test for you against some killer drivers
Now you got a place for a decent sized ice chest
You did a better job convincing me you needed that quick connect on the water box then you did the rc mower😂

@@TheRedMenaceR i thought the same right away, should def add a downward support if he plans to ever walk or climb onto it.
really want one now lol that thing rips!
Add some red stars and make it somewhat of an America theme and it will tie in the red foam

You will get less spray from the reverse bucket, if you angle the jet drive nozzle downward when in reverse.

Think you need that baffle that broke off in the water box. If I remember correctly it helps block the sensor from reading to high
Some designs it aided with the mixing.

@19:27 We got a bit of hood Taylor!
The joys of troubleshooting.. also your episode on cooper's podcast was great.
Thanks! It was fun shootin the bull with coop! I have so much stuff to talk about but never enough time in my videos.

Badass boat. You need to trim the jet down a bit. Maybe the engine needs more of a load at higher rpm. Also you can look into duel water feed.
Hey Taylor, love the boat content, one suggestion i have is to double clamp all of your hoses. Would hate to see the boat take on water because of a clamp failure.
I love these boat videos! This was so satisfying to watch!
Time for a complete rebuild of the engine and components
The diamond pattern in the cockpit and the non matching platforms throw my eyes off.
White looks mint on camera
First of all, heatwave visual needs to sponsor you. And second this boat would be perfect behind the little green Chevy truck. Can’t wait to see what you do next
I still love the idea of a Milwaukee tool wrap 😄
Milwaukee colors and font but instead says garage built would be awesome

I watched the whole podcast with cooper and definitely the king of jibber jabber
Try welding the baffle back in, have not tried that yet.
Can u put tubes down to the bottom ones that were already there to make it look a little better and give it up right support
Water is the main enemy of suede
Love the Jet Boat content.
Try putting some grease on the shock arms. This has worked for me.
When doing vinyl work I would highly recommend using something called Rapid Tac. Used it at the sign shop I worked at and it makes a huge difference when you go to apply it. Just spray the back of the vinyl with it before you start to apply it, then just work out the bubbles with a squeegee. Windex also works in a pinch but Rapid Tac works the best.
if its proper wrap vinyl you dont want to wet apply as its designed to go on dry and moisture can get trapped in the air release channels

Looks far better without the random beer logo.
When you do re-do the deck mat, use the same brown as the steering wheel. Brown always looks classy on a boat
the Jet Boat is SICK!
good shit Taylor!
You should get with Cleetus and the guys that work on his jet boats and see what fixes they have for your exhaust issue
A suggestion here it might be an idea to put a piece of tubing on either side going from the platform down to the lower gard to create a log gard for the jet especially for when you are in reverse as there could be semi floaters that could not be visible

Check your wear ring and prop tolerances.
Take it to a jet ski tuner amd have him raise the alarm on it so it doesn't sound till it gets a little hotter
Terrible idea lol. Thats how you melt hoses

Remove the restrictor and get more air in the engine bay and I bet it doesn’t over heat anymore

He has too much money to spend now. 😆
Probably waiting on parts

It’s summer in Florida. The man needs his water toy to fix.
you can see steam coming out of the back when your on and off throttle i know some jet drives have restrictors from the jet drive you might not be getting enough pressure
