Hi All,
My family purchased a 2004 Seadoo Speedster with Mercury M2 240 engine (2nd gen) last year. We used it all last year without any major issues. First trip out this year everything started fine, but about 20 minutes into our trip (while cruising at about 4K) the rpms started to dip and...
I've spent over a year trying new oils, from full synthetic to Mercury brands, changed spark-plugs, head heat sensors, oil pump, etc etc etc and finally came to a really simple solution. The stop button/ kill switch (CPI 5000) on the boat was broken and grounded so the engine wouldn't start if...

Doing my research there...

I have a just purchased 2000 Speedster and I seem to be about 50mph by iPhone GPS. No speedo yet, but I'm betting it will read higher. I thought these boats could hit 60??
Maybe time for a pump refresh?
Hi-
We are looking to sell our 96 Challenger and upgrade to a '01 16' Speedster with the Mercruiser M2 in it. Can you guys please give me some honest opinions of the boat? Also what are the known trouble spots?
I am thinking it would be a plus to have the Merc over the Rotax, but please...
