I am looking to repair a few marks in the navy blue gelcoat on my new to me 2007 230 Challenger SE. Does anyone happen to have any information on the navy blue color used on this hull? I have contacted Spectrum, Gelcote International, and BRP to obtain color codes, names etc and no one seems...

Has anyone done the diode replacement procedure on a 97 Challenger (single 787) MPEM? Just wondering if someone knows the exact diode location so that I can reduce the amount of digging required to find it. Thanks!

The following video shows my 1996 Seadoo Challenger with a brand new engine in 2022 and has me detailing the whole current issue regarding my key when connected to post only generates a very light click (as in low volume) sound near the MPEM, i believe... also when i hit the start stop button...

Anyone using the Big Air Cuda Tower? Wakeboard Tower Mounting Hardware | Cuda Tower | Big Air Wake Towers I just watched this video on YouTube, It convinced me of what I was already thinking about some of these narrow stance mounts. I recently bought a 2007 230 Wake without a tower so I’m in...

I had a voltage regulator fire, replaced regulators, harness and solenoid. Engine fires up but horn, lights, bilge and blower will not work. Have power to all switches checked with volt meter. Any ideas? I can not find anyone that will touch it here in central Ohio.

Looks like I replaced this just in time. Very rusty and there was a slight divot in the bellows. Nylon wire tie did the trick!

Hey there! I recently purchased a 99 Seadoo Challenger 1800. I'm in total restore mode. Does anyone have recommendations for aftermarket gauges? The boat needs a lot of cosmetic repairs. So if you guys want to post links below, that would be great! Not only looking for gauges, but also...

Hi I’m looking to buy a challenger 180 SP (2011/2011). I’m in Canada and can’t cross border due to covid. Willing to drive for the right boat. If you have one or see one for sale let me know. Cheers Rusty

Hi everyone, I just ordered a new wear ring for my challenger since it's about that time. While checking the clearance, I noticed that my jet pump assembly has a gap around it. Weird request, but would anyone be able to take a picture or let me know if there is supposed to be a gap between the...

Hi All, First post. Great info on the forums so thanks to all for previous threads. I’m based in Toronto Canada and looking for a fun family boat with some space when in-laws/friends visit too. Think I’ve settled on the challenger 180. Right size and 2005+ looks a little more refined (than...

Hi there. Our boat is for sale, located in Seminole Florida 33772. Long Story Short... This was our first boat and I don't have the time nor patience to continue ownership. Boat was purchased in May of 2019. Went for an excellent test drive with no issues whatsoever. However when taking it out...

Hey all, are there any work-arounds to replacing the entire MPEM? Which component(s) generally blow? And can I order them? My little sister thought it was ok to jump/charge the boat battery while the car was running. Just trying not to spend $500 on the entire thing. Thanks!

Hey, getting near the end of season so don't know if I will get out to test this more or not before spring. The Speedo on my 05 Challenger is off reporting -12 mph (boat going 43 mph on GPS, speedo reads 28-29) Found a long lost Technical bulletin on another forum that shows on the back of the...

Hi All! Bought a 2012 Challenger 180 SP a couple of weeks ago. About 225 hours on the boat, supercharger clutch was redone at a dealer around 178 hours. Overall, the boat starts easy, seems to run mostly well. However - I've noted that when moving from idle to full throttle (or close to it)...

Hi all, This forum has been invaluable the last few weeks. I picked up a 97 challenger and have been having issues, some of which I resolved. Could really use some help. I‘ve done a lot of searching and reading but was hoping to get some specific guidance. The first time I took it out, it kept...

2008 Sea-Doo 180 Challenger So my original bilge pump went out. I am replacing it with a Rule pump with an automatic sensor built in. It now works perfect in auto but I cannot get the manual switch on the helm to work. Is this as simple as a bad switch possibly or is there something else that...

Still working on my neighbor's 97 Challenger (sgl 787). Having issues...as in after all my work, it is still doing the exact same thing it did before. Questions at end, background first. Original symptoms: slow acceleration to top speed, but was able to plane up to about 40mph eventually...

Hey guys! New to the forum. Been lurking the shadows for a while. I have finally found the guts (and money) to purchase my first boat. Have been doing my research for the last couple of years, and I owe a lot of my “knowledge” to forms like these, so thanks in advance. now for question time! I...
