    rooster tail

    Best I have found is a longer rope. I don’t think trim tabs will reduce the wash tail length.

    Make it Slide!! Adding Sliders to Captains Chair.

    So, often when docking or navigating rougher/busier waters my wife and I (my wife mostly as she’s been a boater her entire life) like to stand to get a better view ... the position of the captains chair and the tight Helm in our Utopia 205 are not naturally conducive to this. So I set out to...

    2002 Sea Doo Utopia 205 - Performance Problems Many Questions New Owner - Help

    Oh God.. I gotta go check my TB and Intakes. When I got mine last year, the insulation under the engine enclosure had been degrading, and I had oily foam flakes/dust all over... and it would settle and cake on, looking a lot like what is in your TB there.

    2002 Sea Doo Utopia 205 - Performance Problems Many Questions New Owner - Help

    On the Oil Tank I strongly suggest doing an Ohm test on the sensor and move the float manually, be sure that you have a bad sensor. I was about to do this same replacement, I had tested the float in my tank and it seemed to be bad, it would trigger after only a short drop of the float. But...

    Utopia Owners... and others - How Much was your Interior?

    Hey, So I need a new Interior for my '04 Utopia 205. I just got the first of a couple request quotes back and it blew my mind.... They quoted $10K just for labour, claiming 120 hours at a shop rate of $87/hr. With a couple more quotes to come in.. I am bracing myself! I had it in my head...

    Extended Ride Plate Vs. Smart Tabs

    Are you referring to the mounting style of for the top of the shock on the original Smart Tab would work better compared to the SX versions design/layout? or just the strenght of metal vs. plastic? I appreciate the feedback. MK

    Extended Ride Plate Vs. Smart Tabs

    i was just looking at the Smart Tabs website. It was suggesting the 60 lbs units for my Utopia 205. (20’ @ 3500lbs) What lead you to the 80 lbs? Do you think the 60 would be enough? MK

    Higher RPM - Dropping/Hesitation OptiMax 250 M2

    Yeah.. don't think I'll be cracking the injectors open. Looked up a few pieces of info on cleaning injectors in general, seem pretty straight forward using some tubing and a can of carb clean, then pulsing the injector open ... then I looked up the style of injector we have, more the SPI style...

    Higher RPM - Dropping/Hesitation OptiMax 250 M2

    Thanks again Dr. H for the insights. Ill add injectors to the list of things to look over. I know I can check the coils for ohm's... any thoughts on tests or methods to test the controllers? I wonder if I can pull injectors and give them a 'basic' cleaning on my own,as sending them out would...

    Okay so I thought I was through my 'newbie' challenges this weekend after sorting a few minor things out with this new to me '04 Utopia with Merc 250 Opti M2... but no. Installed my VesselView Mobile this weekend, which helped me gain some data in a couple situations I am experiencing...
