Hello, I have a 2019 Sea-Doo Spark Trixx and when the start button is pressed or, for a while after the SeaDoo has been shut down, there is a humming sound coming from the hull. Like, something electric is still running. The sound stops after a few minutes. What is this? To me, it sounds like a...

Touring vs Sport Mode doesn't affect max RPM. But, yes. Of course it was in Sport Mode.

I have a brand new, broken in 2019 Spark Trixx. It has about 34 hours on it, now. Since day 1 (late May this year) I can only get it to rev, at the most, to 7500RPM, reaching 75kmh (46.5mph). The 6 lakes I have been to thus far have ranged in elevation between 2800ft to 4000ft. It accelerates...

Thanks for adding that. I talked to a dealership yesterday to get their (obviously biased) opinion on a few things and they mentioned the intercooler for winterization, as well. As far as Sea-Doo reliability, I have a tough time thinking about buying another brand, too. As, even though I've...

I’ve read the new 2020 GTR 230 manual front to back and there is no mention about the supercharger in the maintenance section. I wonder if they simply forgot about it since this manual is a blanket manual for the GTI 170 and Wake 170 models, as well. The oil level checking and exhaust cooling...

Hello. I am hoping to buy my first ever Sea-Doo in March. I’m Looking at 2020 models. The GTR 230 is my top pick(I want an all-rounder), but I want my machine to last a long time. Maybe a GTI 170 or GTX 170 (I’m aware of the hull differences, etc.) would be better long term? It’ll be run in...

These seem similarity priced and equipped, unless I’m missing something. Wondering why someone would pick one over the other. ket me know!

Hah. Thanks for taking the time for such a detailed reply. I agree on buying used vs new. I forgot to mention, I will be buying new! I’m looking into how much extra maintenance there is or whether there is a higher failure rate with a machine with superchargers, etc.

Hey all! I’m new to this forum, but have been riding Seadoos for a few years. What would cause the damage explained above? I am wanting to buy either a GTI SE 155 or a GTR 230, but am doing some research to see if the added complexity in the GTR 230 would be more of a hassle than worth it, or...
