I owned 2 Seadoo's 2 strokes a 96 SPX and 97 GSX, and got tried on the constant problems. So yesterday I bought a 2005 GTX limited with supercharger. The Seadoo is an great condition and has 188 HRs on it. Came with double trailer with diamond plated tool box. The owner rebuilt supercharger at 126 HRS, and recently replaced the wear ring and solenoid. I paid $2600 for it, is that a good price?
My first question is about oil changes, why are they so expensive and should I do they myself?
What kind of oil, I have Seadoo XPS oil for my other 2 skis (2 strokes), is that the same?
What aftermarket oil is the best Mobil one, ETC?
In the oil change instructions after you suck out the oil the first time, and crank the motor for another 10 seconds, how do you stop it from starting, remove the plugs?
why do you need to run it on a hose out of water, I thought it was it own internal cooling system?
Lastly, when the time comes up to rebuilt the supercharger again, can you just remove it, since other 4 stokes don't have it? There really expensive to fix.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
