I'm looking for a MPEM for my 1995 sportster. P/N 278-000-571. I did the idiotic move of using a battery starter to jump my boat after a top end rebuild. Engine started up right away and ran great on the trailer. put it in the water to do the break-in and got 200 yards from the dock and it DIED...

Hey all - I think I'm in a world or trouble! Boat is a 98 85HP single sportster. Last year before packing up the boat I had all sorts of trouble getting it to plane; felt like the propeller was slipping and it would simply "spin out". After doing some reading I figured it must be the...

Hey, I am totally out of resources to troubleshoot my problem. I have an 03 sportster 150 4tec. Used it without any problems this season, has a brand new battery. I used it 2 days straight and one week later when I tried to start it, it just cranks. Like there's a fuel issue. All fuses are good...

Hello guys, new to the forums. Any help would be much appreciated! I purchased a 1995 speedster and this is my issue... The guy told me one engine would not run.

Hey guys, just sold my families old bowrider last season as the lower unit blew apart. We have been looking at downgrading to a smaller Sea Doo jet boat. This boat will be used to pull 3 teenage boys around on tubes, skis, and wakeboards. We have been looking at a 1998 Challenger (110 hp) and a...

Hi Everyone, new to this forum but looks like a lot of useful info. I just sold my 17 ft speed boat and plan to get a Sportster. Our cabin is on a small pond and I'm tired of replacing props and legs :) It's a 2 km pond so the smaller the boat the better. There is a 2006 Sportster 155...

So my Aunt bought a brand new 2004 4-tech sportster back in 04 and since then I have a very strong feeling that ZERO maintenance has been done, zip, zero, nada in addition to being left outside in direct sunlight without any covers.... I noticed that it looked like hell full of leaves/pine...

I convinced the hubby we needed a new toy, and this one popped up. The boat was always winterized and the owners are older adults who took good care of it, but I do need to check to see if the supercharger's been re-built yet. All diagnostics check out perfectly. I was kind of shocked to find...
