Hi Everyone!

[Peezen]

I just wanted to say hello as a new member in BC Canada!

We bought a 1998 GTX Limited, and a 1997 GSX Limited last summer, and I finally have both running.

The GTX was running while the GSX was in pieces. Both now start on the trailer after I rebuilt the carbs on both (787 and 947) and replaced all fuel lines and fluids. We’ll be taking them out next week for the first time.

My wife and I are brand new to seadoos, but this site has been such a help to me in getting them both running. I’m a car guy and take apart engines regularly, but this has all been new, so thanks again!!

I do have a quick question, I have to replace all of the gauges on both skis as they have broken needles, and the info gauges are destroyed. I have seen them on eBay, but wonder if this board has a preferred location for used parts like this.

Cheers!

I know one thing,,,replacement gauges are a fortune,,,

For the info guage, if you can't see the digital screen it may be because the polarized film is bad. Happens a lot to these gauges. I just replaced mine. The process is a little cumbersome but it is cheaper than buying a new guage. The process for replacing the film is in the "how to section", there is also a YouTube video that might be a little better.. If you do this and got questions just post it here...a lot of us have done this repair.

Thanks for the reply, I think both gauges might be totally ruined, the one on the GTX is for sure.

I’ll post a few pictures.
