Hey guys, Im proud to say that my brother and I just purchased a 2011 seadoo challenger 230 SE last year and enjoyed every minute i spent on that boat. the person we bought it from claimed to have had the superchargers rebuilt after a year of owning the boat. We just hit 100 hrs on it at the...

It's hard to tell since I have to always have the trunk on enclosed when I'm running the boat in the water. I'm thinking about just replacing the carbon ring on both engines as a tester but those parts can get pretty expensive. Is there a way to tell if the carbon ring or Bellows need to be...

There is definately some cavitation. I replaced the wear rings with brand new oem wear rings and i even put the neopreme seals on them. Cavitation is most evident when ripping it from idle. It will rev high for a second or two before it actually accelerates. Its wierd because the port engine...

Sorry for the late replies. After much time and much more money, i was finally able to get both engines to run at around 7k rpm! In one fell swoop, i fixed the leaking exhaust (new exhaust manifold and tuned pipe gaskets on both engines) replaced the rectifiers (both of them) replaced the raves...

Just an update for anyone who cares. The hesitation problem when opening the throttle was due to a fauly check valve in the accelerator pump. Ive changed the rectifier on both engines and installed an aftermarket mikuni high flow dual outlet feul pump. I mounted it in the same place where...

Thanks for the quick reply. I have some updates. I took the spark plugs out to inspect them and 3 out of the 4 spark plugs looked like they fouled out. The last plug looked BRAND NEW! like it wasnt firing AT ALL. all of the plugs were wet with gasoline. Ill try and upload a picture

hello I don't even know where to begin but i will try. I recently purchased a 1998 speedster (my first ever watercraft of any kind) from a guy who got it from the original owner. I knew from the beginning that the boat would need some work and since i'm pretty mechanically inclined, i thought i...
