that motor bay needs totally cleaned out and your going to want to add new sound bearer.. but its all simple and you can do it yourself and save money. i just did mine . we love our utopia
Greetings every one. I had some problems with my control handle on my 2003 utopia 185 being stiff, then not moving. I've see this has been an issue on most of these boats. I couldn't really find any good Tutorial on how to take these out of the boat since access to the under hull isn't simple...
i'd crawl under it and check the impeller and wear ring.. first thing.. i learned the hard way and bought a utopia 185 and did't know what i was doing and first thing i had to replace was that.. so thats 1000 right off the bat
i just did a set of how to videos on taking out the control handle and rebuilding it and putting new lube in and putting it back in the boat. i'm going to post it on the threads here if any one is intrested
ok Thanks Tim, so basically i'll get my money worth out of the special socket. thanks for the heads up on the wear ring.. being in place to remove the nut.
Hey every one, doing research on rebuilding my wear ring and impeller..(2003 utopia 185, M2 merc jet setup) my next question is..is the only way to get the big nut off the impeller is with the special sea doo socket? or is there a different cheaper mod out there? special socket is 100 bucks.. If...
can i ask ball park of what you spent.. i know each job is different because of amount of work for repairs but if its a little cheaper then just buying brand new .. might be worth it for sure.
Hey Glen, i was looking at your web site. i saw impeller repairs but i didn't seen anyting about wear rings.. also i figured since i have the boat apart, now would be a good time to replace the bushing inside the Stator? so how do i get a quote for fixing my impeller, wear ring and new bushing...
