I understand, I did it as a preventative measure in mine.
As far as "heavy duty" performance goes, I can't really say, but they're heavy duty enough to drive a nail.
The kind folks in the Seadoo 2stroke group talk them up a lot, and ofc the owner of OSD marine is a member. I haven't had any bad experiences with his wares, and for someone with limited experience and ability, I appreciate the fact he has everything put together and just about ready to plug and play.
(Rambling from here on but my experience might help someone having power issues)
When I started chasing my electrical issue i got a lot of bad advice, especially since no one would listen to what I was saying and I got a lot of "did you check your compression" and "it's your mpem" responses.
I went with my gut and started with a new dess post.
I ordered one from a seller on Amazon and received exactly that. Had to order connectors, pins, a crimper, build my own bullet connector and go from there.
During the install I found a corroded pin in the Deutsch connection which correspond with the power supply wire, replaced it and viola: beep beep.
FF to the ramp: dead again, same symptoms. Took it to a nearby mechanic who was nice enough to teach me some things, tugged on some wires which pulled loose, and told me to go home and check my connections as he believed something rattled loose during the trip.
After triple checking/replacing every possible connection with no fix i assumed it was either the shoddy bullet connector or that I fried the dess post altogether.
Since this was my first attempt at doing anything remotely similar, I made the mistake of trimming my wires too short and couldn't replace the connector.
It's important to note that I was still getting clicks when attaching my key.
I decided to order a new dess assembly from OSD and start over. His came with the bullet connector already installed as well as the start/stop and all the wires pinned.
Instead of ripping all my prior work out, I tested over it with no change but left it wired in externally
Once again the only marked improvement from the original repair was the engine click.
I spent a week messing with shit and after saying to myself for the 10th time "it couldn't possibly be that tiny hole I probed into the black/yellow wire 4in from the mpem plug" I decided I should at least try to wrap that tiny spot. That's when I found out that it was, in fact, that probed wire.
I tested with the new assembly with success but before I went tearing my work out, I tested with what I had installed and also got the same results, thus proving it wasn't my shoddy skills.
I then disconnected the OSD wiring assembly, put everything back together, retested it, took video as proof and then hauled it back up the hill
When my husband got home, he asked if I had tested it after moving the trailer
I said "of course I did! (I hadn't) watch this" put the key on to show him and got nothing, no beeps. Back to square 1.
It IS actually the probed spot in the power wire it just keeps shorting out.
I ordered a rear main harness but haven't installed it and the ski has sat untouched since August. I attempted using electronic resin yesterday and got amazing everything worked. I checked 5x with success, twice with nothing, then once again with success.
I'm hoping all of that made sense.
