    Speaker delete in 96 Seadoo Challenger

    Hey guys, I picked up a '96 Challenger and the speakers are shot in it, also didn't come with a deck. I'm not crazy about installing a big system as I've run into issues with killing the battery in the past and that was with boats that had alternators instead of charging coils. So I was...

    96 Seadoo spx - fuel mixture update

    Back when these engines were built they did not have a mixture system that adapted to the amount of power you gave the seadoo.

    Trouble starting my 96 sp

    I'm having trouble firing up my Sea-Doo, I have to hold the starter for upwards of 2 min to actually get it to start, wondering how I can fix that so I don't burn through starters, once it starts up and gets warm I don't have that trouble.

    96 SPX Losing Power on Water

    So been racking my brain on this one, I think it has to do with a bad impeller. Have a 96 SPX that will completely lose power while on the water only. If i run it on a hose, there's no power loss at all. By power loss I mean it will be going full speed, and then just go back to idle, then back...
