    XPS 5W-40 Synthetic Blend in 2007 Wake 215

    Here is a good step by step procedure for changing oil in a 4-Tech Sea Doo. Don't forget the step about after warming up the engine rev it to 4000 RPM and shut it off while running 4000 to get the oil out of the PTO. Then do the suck, hold throttle wide open & crank routine 3 times. How to do...

    Battery Life

    The flooded battery that came with my ski died after 2 seasons. I always pull the battery and keep it on a tender during winter. I don't have power available where I park my ski during the summer but 3 years on an AGM battery currently with no problems. I keep my boat on a battery tender year...

    Opinions on installing ski module

    Cruise mode would be ideal but doesn't look to be an option on your model.

    2017 Wake 155 Winterizing and "before" taking plugs out...

    Did you notice any oil around the plugs of your '14 models? I had some oil around the plugs when I did my 1st plug change on my '13 Wake 155 but after seeing very little since then I attributed it to silicone grease from the coil boot seals.

    Oil Filter Cap O-Rings

    Shouldn't need anything exotic for this application. Kalrez are super expensive. We use them in our robotic paint applications due to compatibility issues with our solvent and activator. I use these...

    New vs. Used

    I bought my 1st ski used and spent more time fixing it that riding it. Bought a new Wake 155 and it has been trouble free for over 4 years. I do my own winterization and service. Cost was worth the peace of mind for me to know the history and that I wasn't buying someone else's problems...

    Oil Filter O-Ring Question

    Oil Filter O-Ring Question

    Changed my oil for the 1st time in my wake 155 and installed the new o-rings that came with the new filter. When I replaced the cap and tightened it down, the top o-ring doesn't fit inside the filter housing and the cap appears to sit on top of it. I tried multiple times with the same result...

    Eco Mode

    On a 2012 Wake 155, can you engage more than 1 mode at a time? When I am in eco mode and then engage cruise, it appears eco mode drops out and returns to touring mode.

    Gas cap issue

    Are the gas caps supposed to ratchet like on cars to keep from over tightening? Dealer says no but my cap looked to be made to ratchet.

    Gas cap issue

    Problem resolved. Wasn't cross threaded but stuck so tight the cap broke inside while trying to turn it. Dealer pried the top of the cap off and used needle nose pliers as a spanner wrench and got it to break free. Replaced the cap under warranty and all is good. New cap is nice and smooth.

    Gas cap issue

    Got a new Wake 155 and had a really hard time getting the gas cap to unscrew. Went to add gas today and the cap wouldn't budge. Put some leverage on it and now the top half turns but the cap doesn't screw out of the tank. Has anyone else had issues with their gas cap getting stuck? Any...
