I owned a 2014 fx22 and was under the impression the touch screen didn't have enough memory to run it AND all the other functions like ram fill. I had to install rocker switches to control mine. Is yours a ram fill boat?

Hello I got my 2014 fx22 our of storage and dewinterized this week, ran it on the hose and all checked out. Put a brand new impeller into it and put it in the lake, a few minutes after launching it started to alarm and I noticed the temp spiking above 200 degrees. I shut it down to cool and jumped over to see if anything was blocking the raw water intake, all was clear. I got some tools and removed the impeller to verify All was still well. It seems like water is getting to the impeller but not beyond to the motor. I pull the hose off the top of the impeller housing and water will rush out of the engine if running but water won’t reach the engine you can tell the hoses are empty and collapsed. Motor is the pcm 343 any ideas? Do these have a thermostat? Maybe it is stuck? Any other ideas? thanks! mike

I used a pump for my fat sack to pump water into one of the large diameter hoses on the top of the motor to fill the block with water and was able to finally get it to start sucking water... working fine now!

Ok thanks, I'll keep an eye on it for the rest of the season and let you know if it happens again. thanks again for being on the forum and answering questions during the holiday weekend!!!

I was idleing in to my boat slip on the lake today and my check engine light went on and started beeping. The engine code is spn 442 fmi 15 plug id b anyone know what this code is or have a chart I can look it up? Motor is the pcm 343 in 2014 fx22 thanks!

Took the boat out for a sunset cruise to test it out, temp stayed ok at about 160-165 with no codes, must have sucked some debris over the intake...

No ran last summer on it and when I pulled it for winterization it still looked really good so I used again this summer. I'd say it has 75 hours on it or so.

180 hours replaced raw water impeller season before last, looked good this year so I reused it

Didn't see it at the time shut it down within seconds of seeing the fault. I'll take a look at the intake grate and see if anything is blocking it tomorrow. Other than that raw water impeller might be bad? thanks!

Was able to find the fault codes for the engine, looks like it is emwt2 higher than expected trying to understand what that means?

Friend bought a used fs44 recently and I've been walking him through the controls as ive got a fx22. We noticed that the radio will only work if the nav light is in the on position. Is this something with the 2015s? I've got a 14 and the switch is independent on all the others so you can have the radio on when just chilling without the ignition on.

Just to verify, the VSR/Perko switch is to be run in the #1 position and will charge both the batteries when it senses there is enough current correct? I've never really thought of it and always ran in the #1 position but I have heard of others running the the combined?

I've used the spectrum white on my 2014 fx22 and it matched out fine.

And I really appreciate it! haha

Ive got a 2014 fx22 and the wave is great, having ram fill and cats is a plus too. I can be off from the marina and surfing in just a couple of minutes. Storage however does really suck, if you use the rear lockers for PNP bags and if it has ram fill that basically only leaves under the glove box area for storage and that's it!

contact NW boat sports... they are who did my valterra upgrade and know exactly what to order

best local dealer! I bought my boat private sale and they have taken care of all of my warranty repairs and issues with awesome service!

Did you buy directly from viskus? Every time I look their website says out of stock!

I had the boat out today for a surf session and we shut the boat down to switch riders out. When I went to restart the boat the starter cranked over for probably 4 seconds before the motor fired up. Usually it just cranks over a couple of times and fires within a fraction of a second. 2014 pcm 343 has just over 130 hours on it and id like to keep it running in tip top shape and not get stuck in the middle of the lake haha. Do you think I should start with cap and rotor? I'm assuming batteries are fine as it cranked over fast just didn't fire off. Both batteries new this season and charged with a month ago.

fuel and water separator were new at the beginning of the season... maybe its nothing but if its something preventable I'd like to do it

Hahahaha.... I did fill up the gas tank this morning and ended up using quite a bit more fuel than normal!

I finally got a chance to use my suckgate on my 14 fx22... I used the cosmos handle (could not get the sup handle to stick on the boat under power). It is a bob V5 design and held strong all day. I usually heavily list the boat regular side, taking in water through the carbon vent on the rear bilging often. We started the day listed and then switched over to even weight with the gate. I filled both rear lockers with 450 sacks and both ram fill tanks 100%, I found that I didn't need nearly as much bow weight and ended up 0-50% full there. Cats was 50 and trim was used to clean up the face usually around 20-50%. Listed rpm on my pcm 343 is usually around 3275-3300rpm and the gate rpm was 3500. Was able to get up to surf speed fully loaded with 8 adults and 1 child, and at one point pulled two 200lb plus riders up on the same wave for fun Regular wave impressions: wave was about 12-18" taller than normal and had MUCH more push than listed. The face does feel a bit less firm than before and seems a bit harder to air off of. We took GoPro video and sat down at the end of the day and watched the same riders on the listed and then gated wave and were clearly able to see the difference in height and rideable length. Goofy wave: Wow... I have always had trouble getting as good a goofy wave as regular... Maybe it's because I'm a regular rider and only a couple of my crew that don't ride often are goofy and I don't set it up often.... But the wave looked as massive and long as the regular, so much so that my wife who could really care less about what the wave looks like commented on how big it was (insert joke here) Overall it made quite a bit of difference for a small amount of money... If I have crew switching sides regularly it will be a no brainier, use the gate.. If it's just a few of us regular riders I'll probably still list and save the fuel consumption. GoPro was my buddies so I'm hoping to get a few screen captures of the two waves to side by side them

Couldn't get the sup handle to stick on my fx22 under power... I've got a cosmos handle on the way that I'm gonna try next week

I guess gator step is now the official oem supplier so they are allowed to use the centurion logo so that is who I went through via my dealer.

Did the 15' have the drainmaster or the valterra valves? The drainmasters suck and could be sticking?
