Good Morning! I just picked up my first Seadoo Jet Boat (97 Challenger). I understand that horns were not installed until 1998 - Any recommendations on adding a horn to the 1997?

Hey guys, We recently got a 2007 Challenger 230 310HP and after about 30-45min on the water we get a check engine light on only the starboard engine. We were told by a shop that the engine "ran a little hot" because the impeller was torn up, so we installed new wear rings and impellers, but we...

Hi, I have 2008 Challenger 180 SE and the building I was using for winter storage collapsed and one of the beams came down across the windshield and smashed the two side windows and bent the frame. Anyone on here have an idea of where to get a replacement windshield, or aftermarket one, or...

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.
