i also think if he runs to bass pro, they will not cover it under warranty. sand in the system is not a defect in materials & workmanship.

Alright, I'll pass this info along. PD- I was worried myself about them not covering it..seems crappy if they don't. I've already told him If I was him I wouldn't touch it. I'd get it done under warranty if possible...I would definetly find out for sure before jumping into it. Thanks guys.

Not too sure of that motor, but have you ruled out that possibly the sand chewed up the impeller to the point that it will push water at low rpm's but as soon as it's under load, there is not enough impeller surface to keep up with engine temps?

He flushed it more yesterday. ....he failed to give me the correct chronology of facts. He hasn't had the motor back in the water since flushing it on the driveway..(good piece of info to have..maybe I just don't listen well) so...I may go out with him tomorrow to test it out. It may be a non-issue at this point. I know you guys are probably right about the warranty...still think it sucks though. I may be thinking like a liberal right now though...lol. I guess its the same as a car right? If you hit a pot hole and screw up your suspension its not covered...the more I think about it the more sense it makes. I gotta stop thinking though, its making my head hurt.
