cavitation

Hello Sea-Doo Forums! Many year lurker, first time poster because I am at my wits end with one of my skis. I have two skis that I absolutely adore and have owned both since new. One is a 1995 HX and the other is a 1996 GSX. I am having a serious cavitation issue with the HX. I took it in...

I own a 1996 SeaDoo XP and it has bad cavitation when i turn and do a broadie and when i am at a stand still. I did some research and came to the conclusion that it was my wear ring. So i starting taking it apart and got the nozzle off and was looking around and the bronze part was cracked and...

Great forum here, and rest assured that I did some extensive searching before this post. I'm just sorry I have to use it so soon. Bought a 1995 Speedster last week. Ran like a top on a half-hour test. RPMs were good, got out of the hole quick, speedo read 55 MPH, all seemed well. Last...

Hi Folks! What have I got myself into? I purchased my neighbor's 1997 GTX (86 hours on it) for $1050 with trailer. My kids were begging me to do it. I've never owned a boat or jet ski before nor ever driven with a trailer. Anyhow, I got a hitch installed on the family van and went jet skiing...

I have cavitation problems in my starboard 717. After a lot of reading, I know that the 2 most likely culprits are the wear ring and the carbon ring, in my case the carbon ring seems more likely. A couple of questions for the more experienced folks would help me do this properly... Do I...

so i bought a 2000 challenger with twin 717s 2 months ago. it ran great except it seemed to have an occasional cavitation issue when trying to plane out. was running fine over the past weekend until suddenly it wouldnt plane out at all. just wondering where i should start looking for the...

My first season. 2008 Challenger 180 with 23 hours. From the looks of it, it appears that the subject of "cavitation" is quite a popular one. Just got it back last week from the dealer, where they replaced the fuel pump, wear ring, & impeller. It sounds like there are many interpretations as...

Last summer i bought a 2007 challenger 180 se with everything but the tower for a screaming deal. first thing i did after buying it was build a tower, modeled it after the factory one. im about 200 lbs and enjoy wakeboarding (not too bad) but it seems if i have more than 3 people in the boat all...

The wait was over and a 2003 Sportster Vtec 155HP found its way to my driveway this weekend - and what a weekend to be on the water :hurray:. It was great! Of course, there's the learning curve of the jetboat - low speed driving will take some getting used to. There was a repair -- what's a...

I am planning on going through the pump of my boat over the weekend. Of those that have experience with it, what are the recommended items to replace and service while in there to seal pump and reduce cavitation? Obviously these: -Impeller -Wear ring -Oil -Pump to hull seal Any...
