New 210 challenger SP 1 engine wings start

[Brad9856]

Just put my new boat in the water made it about 5 mins and oil pressure light came on and one engine died. Tried starting it agin and just getting a clicking noise. Removed spark plugs and still just a click there is nothing in the impeller and I checked all wire connections anybody else have this trouble? One engine will start every time and that's the engine close to the battery that starts. Checked fuses they all look fine also.

That doesn't sound good. If the oil pump failed... the engine could have eaten itself.

Ya I could move the shaft at rear of the engine tho so don't think that happen or I hope it didn't anyway lol bought the boat new in march and this was my first ride in it. But going bring it back to the shop on Tuesday and see what they say I called couple diff dealers and every dealer is saying a diff story so I'm lost! If it did loose oil pump its under warranty but guess I won't have a boat for half of the summer dealer said it will be at least a month before they get it done if its something serious lol

Hopefully it's not major. But unfortunately... from where I'm sitting... I can't tell.

It is a good sign that you can manually turn the engine.

if it is only making a clicking sound, but you can start it manually, check the starter soloniod may have to replace it.

Have you checked the oil level? I am pretty sure they have a switch that will not allow you to start the engine without a proper oil level. That would explain the clicking only. So it maybe something as simple as a bad sensor......be optimistic!!

ya im after checking everything i could while out camping everything look alright but im heading to the dealer with it first thing in the morning and see what they have to say i just hope i dont have to wait a month to get it back. im a 4hr drive from the dealer so hopefully i wont have to make this trip to many times this summer or my sea doo boating will be short lived and ill be back on my 98 xp lol but thanks everyone for your help and i will update what the outcome is in a few days hopefully. Thanks again

so just a update on my sp 210 so the boat had 0 hours on it and blew the engine they don't know what caused it to blow and sea doo don't even want them to look at why its seized they just sent the dealer a new engine to install in my boat. so now my question is how long is it to swap engines? dealer said will be 3 days to get the job done if they don't run into troubles haha that seems like a long time to change a engine with no supercharger i was thinking a full day start to finish.
