2010 RXT-X - No performance out of the box?

[chris.farr@fastsigns.com]

.. back to the new 260hp ski running only 45mph out of the box .. Yep, the supercharger hose came off (discharge from supercharger) - Dealer dug down, found it off, slipped it back on & tightened the hose clamp. ( I watched - he tightened it.)

Now, here are my observations:
-- don't let the clips (inlet box) fall into the hull when removing air box
-- the supercharger discharge flange is straight. No barbs, no ridges, nothing to help grab the hose
-- the hose clamp is only about 1/2" wide .. to hold on the 3" hose. The discharge flange is about 1 1/2" wide
-- SeaDoo needs to issue a maintenance upgrade on this problem

I'm going to fix the thing myself this weekend by:
-- cleaning the discharge flange (squeeky clean)
-- cleaning the inside of the hose (squeeky clean)
-- adding a 2nd hose clamp and cranking it down
(shouldn't void the warranty, huh?)

Any thoughts?

Return it to the dealer.

Thats not really a maintenance problem. Its lack of "Presale Preparation". When those things get shipped to the dealers alot of stuff in un-assebmled. No oils, fluids, mirrors, batteries etc...
