From what I can tell, the standard bolt from Seadoo is A2 grade. I don't think it will matter which but I am one of those that prefers OEM unless their is known reason to change. For example, changing the plastic reverse nut makes sense. 16 ft-lb (foot pounds) or 21 N-m (newton meters) is the...

Hi, I expect that when the reverse cable nut went that the impact of the reverse bucket dropping sheared the heads off of the nozzle/venturi bolts. If you look at the youtube video below, you will see somebody else who lost their reverse nut. Notice that the upper nozzle/venturi bolts are...

susanmac, Do you have a picture? It is very common on a pwc for mold/mildew to form in the seat foam under the vinyl and cause discoloration. In this case the only option you have is to recover the seat. The mildew literally attacks the vinyl from the underside and changes the color...

I assumed that it is a 2009 RXT iS 255. Based on your description.... I think you need the LH and RH fixing plates. 268000133 (#6-7 includes new seal) and 268000135 (#10-11 includes new seal). You may also need to replace the seals for the support plates. 268000046 (#5) and 268000047 (#9).

Based on what you said about water shooting out of the oil filter cap and what it looked like in the video ... You have a major problem. Water should never mix with your oil. You NEED to get the engine serviced immediately or you will be replacing it. There are two fundamental ways water can...

P0340 is means you most likely have wiring issues with the Camshaft Position Sensor circuit including a loose connector or possibly a bad sensor. Start with simple checks... 1. Check the CAPS fuse (you can confirm the CAPS fuse in your Operator's manual -- Fuse #12 in 2015). Check to see if...

As Seadoodoc points out, you have the choice to tow without "protection" and trust that nothing will go wrong. I haven't installed a valve, but I do carry a line clamp I got at Harbor freight for use on line A. 4 Piece Clamp Set If you choose to add a valve, here is a very good video...

Your first picture is of the wrong line.... that is the water outlet from the exhaust manifold and intercooler. The goal of the tow valve is to prevent water from flowing through the exhaust manifold into the water box. If the water box fills with water while the engine is not running, the...

I would look under the plastic muffler resonator... it's there on mine.

Did they cover it under warranty?

The other possible causes of collapsed filter I have seen: water in the oil from wave jumping or from failing intercooler failing head gasket with slight antifreeze leak which will clog filter membrane

mystman13, How did it go? Was it just the muffler hose/clamp?

mystman13, You lost the exhaust clamp and the exhaust hose has separated from the muffler... very often this results in very bad things happening. 1) Water pours in to your ski 2) You start to sink 2) Water gets in engine... more bad things happen... especially if you run the engine after...

Not my ski... This what a friend of mine did last year when he had to replace rusted cross pieces on his trailer (probably not practical for a Challenger). My wife told me it was back in the tree when she stopped by a few days ago... waiting to hear the story this time :)

I would check your carbon seal. Check out the thread below. https://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?39490-05-RXT-Loss-of-Power
