Hey, Have a 2002 utopia 205 and trailer. Noticed when pulling the tounge of the trailer slides in/out when i take off or brake. More correctly it slams in/out. Just found out it is part of a hydraulic brake system and at the least is low/out of brake fluid. Haven't gotten to work on it yet...

Hey, Was just wondering how much it sold for if ok to ask. Have a 2002 utopia i just spent a fair amount of $$ replacing engine. Did wonder if i shouldn't have and bought something else instead. If you prefer not to answer this i completely understand. Thanks.

Hey, Was wondering if anyone had a source for replacement gas lifts for the rear seat covering the engine. I am asking specific to a 2002 Utopia 205 but assume they are somewhat universal.

NJREALTOR, Couple more questions; - Do you know if the Crowley motor you got had the new metal oil injection gear? (still not sure whether to remove the premix or not, but if it had the metal gear it would help) - Did you have to get a gasket kit for the stuff you moved over? If so...

Meant to add at this point based on what i gather am going to order an engine "short block" from Crowley. If someone has put together details on moving my engine parts to the new engine, Great, if not will proceed on without. Just figured from what i had read here it appears this has been...

Thanks for that info. What i was really hoping to get detail on was once the engine was out. A write up on moving the the parts from the existing engine to a new "short-block" engine. Mainly as a check list to be sure i don't miss anything.

Hey, Need to replace my 2001 240 EFI Sportjet engine. Am going to do it myself, (my Son and i that is). Am hoping there is a write up on this website outlining/detailing the process. I have tried to search before posting this but not getting any hits. Am really hoping if it is on here...

MercPunk, Guessing i am too late. Would still be interested. I just put it aside for awhile and am now back on it.

Thanks for the info on BrucatoFIS, Inc. I am in Cary, NC. When I saw he was in Apex, NC (about 5 - 10 miles from me) felt like it was providence....

I am trying to decide whether to leave oil-injection or premix. Replacing engine because i got distracted while adding oil to the reservoir and left cap off. If i do leave oil injection am going to figure out some way to signal or disable engine if the cap is off again. It really sucked as...

Does any one have a good write up on what it entails replacing your existing motor with a short-block. I have heard move over ignition/fuel system. As NJRealtor mentioned above change the reeds, wouldn't have know that except for his comment. How much are the reeds approx? get your fuel...

Hey, Have a Utopia 205 with a sport jet M2 240 that i have to replace. I have found a few sources for engine exchange. As i understand it i have to pull the fuel and ignition off the existing engine and move to new engine. Wanted to know if there any details about the specifics of what is...

Just curious, where did you get the SS WR ?

I know it could be several things, but sounds like something that happened to me. Boat throttled up but started moving slowly then would go no faster when i gave it more throttle. Turned out i had run over a plastic bag. When on trailer got under it and looked at inlet (in center a few feet...
