ski-d00 (member) made the trip from Ohio to DFW last summer and helped me pull the superchargers. One was in good condition and was rebuilt by ski-d00 on site. The second one had experienced a gyroscopic failure somewhere in its history and had scored compressor blades and casing. Three...

Skigs - when I replaced my 2012 cushions a few years ago with the remaining OEM stock I could find online, I was doing it primarily to get rid of any discoloration or cracks the old vinyl had. However, once the replacements were installed, I realized just how compressed the old foam had...

That is the term the shop owner gave me. He could get me in for service quickly. However, he was told by BRP that he was not authorized to buy OEM parts from BRP as a dealer unless he was selling the new Switch for Sea Doo. Apparently, that meant that he had to abandon two active motor...

Actually, my experience says that a smart business owner looks at things like ROI and net margin. He works on mostly high-traffic jobs that have decent returns while staying available for jobs - like working on obsolete boats with overpriced parts that create a much greater contribution. He...

Finding a repair shop for my 2012 230SP has always been a challenge in North Texas. In a market with a 10 month boating season and 6 mil + residents, I can't understand why nobody wants to work on with Sea Doo boats. (even with me offering to send the superchargers to PWC) In my search for a...

It started in 2018 with a curiosity about owning a boat. So we purchased a lake lot with a neighborhood boat ramp and a 2012 SeaDoo 230SP with 25 hours on it. We liked it so much, in 2019 we bought a dock....then in 2020 built a house....and since COVID was taking off, we moved to the lake...

I think an additional question we should be asking is how long one can hold onto the boat before the value plummets - because the boat is no longer supported by the manufacturer and parts have become unavailable. Right now I could probably get in trade close to what I paid in 2017 for my 2012...

Done... Thanks Turbosl2! Before and after...

Deal. I think I should have it out in the next day or so, and plan on being in Dallas early next week to ship it out. Just need an address to send it!

I can certainly send it to you, but considering the shift control is broken off just below the handle, would you really want it? You would have to disassemble the unit and replace the shift lever with your old one. It is held together with duct tape currently as the recessed handle will...

That is awesome news. I was holding off hoping someone would tell me what I was getting into. I'll pull the covers off today and get this going. The only other question I have is regarding the clearance to get to the fasteners below. It looks like the assembly must fasten to a plate that...

scratch this as a fluke. Ran the boat on Sunday and the active fuel needle returned. I have no idea why it took so long for the float/needle to move from 1/4 to full. Scary, but apparently it is solved for now.

Joe - Did this twice. First when my starboard motor blew up a few years back after the dealer improperly overhauled my supercharger. Was going about 35mph when everything went bang...smoke....dead. Port motor did exactly as you described....ran at a high RPM with very little thrust. Ran...

I bought her in 2018 with only 25 hours on the motors. I waited for the SeaDek sale pm Jet Boat Pilot in 2019 and got rid of the factory carpets. Then I noticed that people started talking about having trouble buying replacement cushions online. I replaced pretty much every one over the...

Yes it is. Here is the view from two angles
