Clearly I'm a novice on wear rings. I am trying to reassemble my 2012 speedster 150 HO pump and I'm at the point of installing a new wear ring and I've failed. I should start by saying this is the first time the pump has been off the boat. The removal of the old wear ring was too easy -...

So I'm reassembling my pump after a rebuild. I've been watching various video's to help me and I'm curious as to what appears to be a missing/omitted part. From the pump mounting plate on the boat, there are two outlets and on the venturi are two inlets. The issue is that there is no path...

Was going to say the same. Given the speed it turns, the out of balance situation could only lead to premature failure.

+1 on the washers. Just learnt how to do this a week ago. Were oem parts used? Always curious how some folks refuse to read or follow instructions. Here is a video and screen grab. The funny thing here is that I recently heard of folks rebuilding these making errors. Mine just came back from a...

Have you looked all over the tower for a manufacturing plaque? My 2012 150 speedster has a little plaque (near the white light) containing the serial number of the tower and its manufacturer - Xtreme Tower. Was easy not to see it. And if you have the seadoo part #, try searching for it here...

I do have all the tools and right now the driveshaft is being held by one of them. I don't think its leaking but a quick check last week seems to suggests its worn but I will double check before I do anything with it. The removal of the SC was a bitch for me and so I want to make sure the carbon...

I'm not sure I'm that different with the OCD and half measures ;-) The gearhead bit has worn off somewhat and adding in a lack of patience is my crappy mix. Right now I'm at the mercy of the SC rebuild and that's setting the schedule.

Its just chain of events. All this work on my boat is due to the supercharger needing a rebuild. No question there as it was slipping. Given the ingestion of the wood, I assumed the ring and impeller would be banged up and I'm convinced that hole shot performance is off. I said I would check the...

I'm doing some maintenance (150 hours) on my 2012 150 HO. Supercharger is out for rebuild and I'm going to replace the carbon ring. In pulling the pump I can now see the state of my impeller (pics attached). Is this damage enough to warrant repair? Anyone have input on the various impeller...

Here are some screen shots of various tabs of my candoo diag program. There are more tabs but these are the more interesting ones I think. I believe the GPS fault is due to my boat being in the garage right now. Now back to the removal of my supercharger which is already looking like a bitch of...

I need to pull my supercharger this weekend and I'll try to take a few screen pics of the various candoo program tabs/windows before hand. It does provide descriptions of the codes yes. There is like 8 or so windows providing various diag info.

So as an update.... my local to me seadoo dealer wont touch boats so I broke down and bought the candoo system. What a neat piece of software etc. Would have been nice to know that the diag port in my boat is sort of near the battery - but made for a connector hunt for a few mins! Anyways I've...

So this weekend, my Speedster 150 HO 2012 started displaying the "Maintenance Required" message. I've owned the boat since 84 hours and it now has 136 hours and this is the first time I've seen the message. Does anyone have a clue as to the intervals for these maintenance messages and exactly...

The 10w40 called out was still the synthetic blend. Not that my boat took it, but the "XPS winter blend" was allegedly full synthetic.

Just went through this routine last weekend at my local seadoo joint. The XPS summer blend is replaced with the XPS 4T 5w40 oil. As best I could find, even thought the summer blend never had its weight noted, it was allegedly 5w40. The part that's odd to me is that my 2012 supercharged...
