noise

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum but I recently bought my first PWC, a 2003 Seadoo GTX with only 60hrs on the clock. After having some fun on the lake with it and running it up to ~75hrs over several weekends, I suddenly noticed a loud hissing/whirring sound upon any acceleration. I idled back...

I took my 2006 Challenger 180 out this spring and noticed that every once in a while, it would produce a weird “metallic knocking noise” emanating from somewhere in the engine. The sound occurs once every 10-30 seconds and sounds like someone hitting the block with a ball-peen hammer. Higher...

I had some cavitation so I pulled my pump and found the ring and prop pretty dinged up. It spins freely but it makes a little of a scraping noise when spinning. Is this normal? the machine has 55 hours on it and had a pump oil change about 10 hours ago. I'm going to change the impeller out so I...

Hello everyone, I just got a new to me 2005 Seadoo speedster. It has twin 185 hp engines. I started both engines up and they sounded great. I then checked the torque on both pumps. They were each a little under what the manual specified. After the re-torqued the port engine started to make a...

1997 challenger 1800 I just bought is making some weird rattling noise, its not the normal rattle, one engine runs fine while the other is more high pitch and will not push the boat. everything seems to be spinning inside not really sure what the problem is. like I said im new to these boats and...

After starting up my 2001 GS on the trailer with water connected for less than a minute, I hear what I will describe as a "rattling/growling" noise that is much more perceptive from outside at back of the ski than from inside the engine compartment. If you kill it and let it set for a...

Hello all, I am new to this so I hope I am posting this in the correct way. I own a 2004 Islandia and love it. One thing I would like to do is decrease the amount of noise that comes from the exhaust. I read in the manual that there are optional exhaust covers that can be purchased to quiet the...

My first jet ski - Just bought a used GTX Ltd. 74 hrs total, 1-owner. Starts well. When sitting at idle you can hear an engine tick or flutter kind of sound. When running wide open, only get 35-37 mph. 1st time out this year. Any ideas on flutter sound? Looks like fuel lines are gray...

Hey Guys, I am having a problem with one of the engines on my 2005 speedster 200 SC. Either off a start or crusing, every once in a while the right engine goes from sounding good to a loud grinding noise vibrating the entire boat. I lay off on the power, start and stop the boat, wait 5-10...
