Islandia owners, anyone experience their front washdown cup fall in? The cup itself is shockingly flimsy. The part is no longer available via Sea-Doo, but it looks generic enough that it might still be available. Anyone ever find one in the wild at a boating parts store? I'm going to go dig...

No one produces a kit. Only way to reskin your seats is to strip the covers and then send them off for reproduction. I can recommend copycatupholstery.

Boats.net Grab your motors serial number so you know you're getting the right parts. Just eyeballing the picture it looks like most of those melted components are still available. I hope you find out why it caught fire.

The cabinet with drawers comes out with just a few screws. It can be kind of tight when moving it out of the way. Once it's out all the bilge lines and sink line are easily accessible. I would just replace all the hoses.

Lol! Getting at some of the cushions nuts are definitely a pain especially if you don't have thin arms that fit into cup holder holes. Here's my 2017 upholstery refresh, with a few seasons on it. I really liked the blue/gray so I had it matched as closely as possible.

If its 240 with Guardian then I would test the TPS. I should have asked if you have the 240 or 250 Opti. (The Opti I have no info on.) The bucket is bouncing off its stop kicking shifter back at you. If you have out of the water put it in fwd and take a look at the bucket. If its up out of...

In the engine compartment, port side on the "shelf". You will see your oil tank, water tank and the pump.

More then likely your pump has stopped working at its age. But they can still be bought new. Get the model number off of it and google it. I think I got mine off of Amazon. They are not hard to replace. Cleaning the lines and water tank can be a pain.

These are the part numbers I use for MY boat: 877581A5 877581A4 But double check if they will work for your pump. Or at the very least it will give you a starting point to find yours.

The bib at the front? Turn on the fresh water pump and its a outlet from the water tank. I hook a hose to it to wash down the sand and mud.

If you have the 240 you might have a Guardian Protection System in your boat. If so the never ending beep can be the temp sensor (over heat), Over Speed or Throttle Sensor Failure. If you KNOW your cooling system is working, and the temp sensor is newer then I would look at the throttle sensor.

Are you talking about the ones at your pump that keep water out of the steering and bucket cables? If so they Marc parts called "bellows" head over to boats.net and plug in your pump or motor SN# to find the right ones.

In the endless search for cheaper TPS for this motor I ran into a ebay item titled "Sensor Throttle Position Mercury 150-200hp Sportjet 240 EFI 14851004" The listing seams to indicate that its non OEM part, but at $670 I'm not going to buy one to find out.

126 sounds lot better! Before ripping into the wire loom look up inside your intake tunnel for any junk stuck inside. Anything hanging out right in front of the impeller? Junk in the pump can keep you in the hole. Also if your boat still has the hydro-surge grate and is missing tinns then...

Those numbers are real low. If you trust the readings then it's time for a rebuild. If you don't I'd get a second opinion. Or pick up a compression tester and do your own. "Plugs out wide open throttle." Silver lining is that if the cylinders are consistent within just a couple of PSIs of...
