First post and it's a troubleshooting question!
I have a new 2017 175BR we picked up last week and took out for the first time on Saturday. Overall the boat was great, but we had two issues with it. First, after the engine was warmed up every time I shut it off, the engine would diesel for several seconds. The first time maybe 1-2 seconds, by the time we called it a day it was doing it for 5+. I know this is something that can happen with older engines, but not anything I've seen - or heard of - with one that's not even broken in yet (total of 4hrs so far). Anyone run into this? Since it wasn't an issue initially, I doubt it's a timing problem. I think I can reasonably assume it's not build up, what could be causing this?
Second issue, is that my temp gauge didn't register any change as we ran the boat. The rest of the combined gauges worked fine, doesn't seem to be a power issue, etc., but the whole time it registered somewhere south of 100deg. Assume that CAN'T be right, from what I understand it should run somewhere up around 160?
Hoping there are some newbie mistakes being made on my part or simple fixes that can be made so I don't need to haul the boat in to the shop already!
Thanks.
