what you are saying is correct for the older seadoo engines like the 720 etc... the exhaust pressure was needed to keep water from flowing back into the engine. a little water always stayed in the jacket so it was safe to run for a very short time without water. The mercury style engines...

When we got our boat the screen on the end of the tube was soooo caked with crud it wasn't doing much. I was surprised to see it was silver in colour when I finally got it all cleaned out. seems to work properly now.

pretty clever. how do they sound? did you leave a vent in the back to allow for air movement?

check the merc part of the forum. there is a thread about extended ride plate. I think a member makes them

I have a 2000 challenger 2000 too and I can't see where this is from either. does it look custom built?

I had issues with bolts on the jet. mine had been used in salt water for years. I basically alternated spraying wd40 and pb blaster every night for about 3 weeks. they eventually came out. assuming the heads are too stripped. have you tried cutting a slot in them and use a flathead? I...

Ya I didn't get what he mean with that part either but you have to measure the voltage with it in place. You can't test it without it being in the boat and powered

I found this on another post: To test the speed sensor you'll need to remove the connector on the speed sensor side using a terminal tool, then plug the terminals back in and you'll be able to touch the terminals to measure the voltage, positive on the red wire, neg on the black, nothing on the...

I haven't looked at this for awhile. But I don't think it's the sensor creating the current. I think the leads are powered and this is the current that results when the wheel is in its various positions. I will see if I can find the original procedure

so if I remember correctly the 2006 is the 4 stroke rotax. I would kill for a wake tower. 4k is a bit of money but I would go with the challenger. the mercury based boats can be hard to find someone to work on them. 10k for a utopia of that year and low hours seems good for Canada. either...

mine too. my previous boat did as well. my understanding is that this is caused by the rotation of the water as it exits the drive. our boat also lists a bit due to the weight of all the extra stuff to starboard (battery. driver etc...). anyway I was going to adjust the steering cable and...

I found the manual u are looking for but it's too large to email. Google seadoo shop manual. It was on a competing site so I won't link it but it. It actually had a ton of manuals available. Message me if you can't find the link

When they say change the oil they are talking gear oil in the stator and others end (the name is escaping me but the gear out of the bottom of the engine) if water got into the oil and it freezes it can cause damage. I think the recommended procedure is to test the quality of the oil to make...

not sure how familiar you are with these so I will start with the basics. there is a knob under the lid to the engine compartment. this engages the battery. this needs to be turned up until it points up. if you have this turned on. do you get beeps when you put the key in and turn it 1...

your initial description sounds like cavitation. have you checked the clearance between the impeller and the ware rings? the damage to the leading edge of your impeller is also contributing. the problems starting warm is something a lot of people have been posting about recently. try running...
