    2003 SeaDoo Islandia, safe buy?

    I own a 2001 Islandia with 240 Optimax I hate to say it, but I’d run for the hills from this boat...not because it isn’t fun and functional but because finding / affording parts and someone to service it is an absolute joke. Quite possibly the worst co-op (SeaDoo & Mercury) that I’ve ever seen...

    Need help...These controls and maneuvering around the dock with finesse

    Is my 2001 240efi prone to the oil pump failure?

    Perfect! Thanks again. I read this on another Seadoo forum site.

    Need help...I accidentally left the seal protector out when I reassembled...can I leave it out?

    I disassembled my gear case to replace the pinion gear set and bearings...when I reassembled it I forgot about the seal protector at the stator oil seal...I found it after I was done...Yep, I goofed big time. Is that a crucial part? Do I need to disassemble again and install it?
