Hi guys, I'm writing cause i need your help to try and figure out whats wrong with my 2004 gtx 155. I bought it used 4 weeks ago, guy told me the gauge was broken, but it was "water ready". I took it out for my first run, it worked for 10 minutes before a long continuous beep came on, and would only shut off if i took the key out. Got it into the shop the same day, but they didn't get to look at it till the next week, and they hooked it up to the scanner, and told me the gauge had to be replaced. So two weeks after dropping it off, i get it fixed 1100 dollars later, take it out on the water and it does the same thing, soon as i go to take off rpms go up and the beeping returns and the dash reads "OIL". Got it back to the launch by keeping the rpms under 3000. Oil was already changed, and was full so back to the shop it went! :banghead:

So first they changed the rear oil pressure sensor switch, took it out, same thing happened. Than i read on some forums that changing both sensors might fix the problem, and that there was a recall on faulty sensors for sum gtx models, so i had them change the front one as well. Still didnt fix the problem, its been four weeks now. Shop said they going to have to take it out on the water Monday and test the oil pressure that way, cause in the shop, there's plenty of pressure.

Any suggestions what else could be causing this problem?
im really bummed and pissed off, been nothing but a headache with this seadoo... weekends are coming and going and nothings getting resolved. :(

Im not sure what code shows up, I myself haven't checked that. The guy at the shop took it out after the first time it was "fixed", they didnt tell me what the code was... alll they said was that the scanner wasnt showing anything, but they are going to replace the rear pressure switch because there was corrosion from salt water.
And the time i checked the oil it was right at the top marker.
 
Marker?

The correct oil level is at the middle of the bend in the oil dip stick. At the "top" would be over-filled (not sure if that would trigger a code or not, though).
