bait boat problem

i have a waverunner and there is like a grinding noise coming out of the left motor. there is noting tangled in it. it seems like its in the motor itself. anyone else ever have this problem? anyone have an idea what this is or how to fix it?

Have you checked for a leak. I'll bet you there's water getting in somewhere. I've read reports of that happening to the Waverunner.

Sending it back to the UK is a very expensive option. There's a shop in Ireland that deal with remote controlled boats and toys. They may be able to sort it out for you.

Give them a buzz and see if they can help you. Worth a shot.

could be fins on the impelers

Thanks for that Fin......Good to know

How long have you got it and who did you purchase it off i was reading some thing on carpforum one the lads bought a second hand one and there was a noise off one of the motors he replaced it him self

got it new. it was only used for about 7-8 sessions. took it apart myself. it def inside the motor. sounds like there 2 pieces of metal rubing together.

Ouch Sounds like the gearing in the motor are knackered

Get onto WaveRunner themselves via email and try and blag a new motor off them FOC I wouldnt let that go

And maybe as already suggested get Norman from GreenMarine Hobbys to have a look at it.

Good luck mate

The boat has a two year warranty , it sounds like the motor bushing or bearing is starting to wear or break up. Remove the motor yourself and send it back to the distributer with a covering letter . I am sure they will send you a replacement .
The boat is a very simple mechanical construction with no mastic seals or impellers . The boat really does lend itself to the home mechanic with a little mecanical sympathy.
Be careful when rebuilding not to overtighten the screws a light touch is the order of the day .
