    Early 2000's SeaDoo Boarding Ladder Foam Replacement

    I have been searching for a solution to replace the foam step cover on my wife's 2004 GTX and was running into all kinds of dead ends. I was about to try using some rubber hose to make the ladder a bit less painful for re-boarding, but I saw a pack of four foam covers for cane handles for $20 on...

    Thoughts on LiFePO Batteries

    I recently received a free LiFePo 12v battery that is advertised for motorcycles and Jet Skis. Specs: 12V, 8Ah, 480A with a smart battery management system (meaning it can charge off of the host electrical system, no need for special charger). The battery weights less than two pounds and looks...

    215 Supercharger Differences?

    This one is for the experts. I have a 2008 Wake 215 that has at least three years on its last supercharger rebuild. To limit downtime, I bought a second 215 supercharger so I could just swap out the supercharger in a day. I thought all 16 tooth 215 Rotax superchargers were the same, but the one...

    Ebay gauge swap 2004 style to 2008 style?

    Don't know if you are allowed to post ebay links here, but this looks like it may be a godsend for those with older skis, me being one of them if it works. I don't know about dropping $600 to find out if it works or not.

    2004 GTX 4Tech 155 Wear Ring Replacement Issues (w/ pics)

    My wife sucked up some rocks on her 2004 GTX 155 so I ordered a new wear ring (part # 267000419). I pulled the pump off and encountered an aftermarket prop (Solas) and wear ring (unknown brand; damage inside the ring from rocks, not removal). I know the previous owner embraced a more forum over...

    2008 GTX Wake 215 Impeller Upgrade

    After swapping out oil for grease in my Wake 215 (previous owner must have been confused), I posted some pics and was alerted that my wear ring and prop looked haggard. I had been noticing a little cavitation by way of hesitation when initially hitting the throttle. I wanted to do a little...

    Why water in your gauge cluster is bad

    So my wifes gauge cluster on her 2004 GTX 155 fogged over a couple weeks ago. It has had the long beep for awhile, but still functioned properly. I left it in the sun for a bit to see if it would clear, but no luck. I threw the key on to see if everything was still working and all I got was...

    What happens when you pull the pump and the driveshaft comes with it?

    So I had to pull the pump to replace the plastic nut that broke on my reverse cable. In the midst of pulling the pump, the driveshaft decided to come along with it. I replaced everything and had my son guide the shaft back into the PTO and everything seemed to meet back up. I started the jetski...

    Traction Mat Installation Question

    This question is for all the gelcoat gurus. I am in the process of installing new traction mats on my Wake 215 and had a quick question. I used a multi-tool to get under the old mats and pulled them up. I used Goop spray, a putty knife and two afternoons to get all the adhesive off. Now that I...

    Winterizing

    As we get closer to the time to winterize, I just wanted to let all my Florida panhandle folks know that I have the BUDS software to reset your maintenance meter or look up those pesky codes so you can fix your ski in the offseason. Also, if you are getting your superchargers rebuilt, I can...

    Supercharger Swap Question

    After reading pages of supercharger information I am gathering that all the 215 superchargers are the same regardless of year. The only thing that seems to differ is the type of washer used. I ask because I picked up a 2005 215 supercharger that was rebuilt at some point and want to send it out...

    Emerald Coast Boat Parade 09/05/2020

    Is anyone entering the Boat Parade on 5 Sep in Navarre? I registered our Jetskis to try and break the world record for a boat parade and was curious if anyone else was going to be there. Information on how to enter here: Emerald Coast Boat Parade, World Record Attempt (Only Register your Vessel)...

    2004 GTX 155 - Have about had it. About to create an artificial reef due to relay issue.

    I, like several others here, have an issue with my 2004 GTX 4 TEC continuously running the startup sequence (oil and fuel pump priming over and over again) until the battery dies. No codes show up in BUDs and I finally broke down and ordered a new DESS post, a used functioning MPEM, and a used...

    Accessory Battery for 2008 WakePro?

    I want to add an accessory battery to my 2008 WakePro so I can run a pump to blow up tubes, play music, or charge up phones/devices. I saw some slick systems for later model jetskis, but was wondering what possible issues I could run into just slapping a second battery in there and piggybacking...

    Seadoo BUDS for all the Florida Panhandle DIYers

    Due to my absolute hatred of dealers and ridiculous markups for simple services I bit the bullet and purchased a BUDs software license and associated hardware to work on my skis and boat. As there is literally no way I can ever recoup the cost of it for two jetskis and a boat, I am offering to...

    CanDoo or BUDs for multiple SeaDoos from 2004 to 2009?

    So I have three separate Seadoos, a 2004 GTX 155, a 2008 WakePro 215, and a 2009 Challenger 180 with the 215. I know just enough about working on stuff to get myself into trouble and I usually break three things to fix one other thing, but I am willing to learn. My question is which program...
