Recently purchased a this boat, some boating experience but completely new to jet boats. Water tested yesterday and had a good experience but with several questions.
1. The boat idles around 2000 rpms. Is this normal?
2. As I open the throttle half-wayish it easily gets to the 7000-8000 range. Never increased the throttle beyond half-way because we were topped on rpms. This is where I have no experience and it seems really high. Yikes.
3. Pitch or plane - At speed the boat is pitched. From the back you have a nice view of the sky. Driver has to almost stand to view ahead. Is there adjustment for this? Seems like it will get worse once we pull tubes and skiers.
4. Speedo - Not working at all. Don't really need a speed but could it an indication that the RPM gage is not accurate/working properly.
5. Steering wheel squeak - The most annoying of the day. Can this be oiled/greased. How easy is this?
Thanks in advance for your feedback and Sea-Doo wisdom.
