Just reached 10 hours, wondering about manuals

[Freddie1275]

I have a 08 challanger 180 se and i just recently got my 10 hour mark. How importnant is it to get the boat in right at 10 hours? i was thinking of just taking it in when i get it winterized but am not sure if thats a good idea? Also i would liketo learn how to winterize my boat in the future. If i buy the manual from here is it easy to understand? I know nothin at all what so ever about engines on boats or cars and am wondering if it would explain eveything i need to do and give me good diagrams? Thanks and please let me know

Yes, it would be easy to inderstand. If you become a "premium member" we can help you if you don't understand something. Here is some more info about it;
As a premium member you can down load a authentic seadoo manual from the seadoo manual library. In the library is a variety of manuals for almost all years and models. You can view as many as you like on line as a PDF file, or download it and print it for your personal and private use. There are operator manuals and repair manuals for you to do your own repairs on your seadoo. The repair manuals have everything from troubleshooting, repair procedures to winterizing. It contains wire diagrams torque specs and pictures for disassemble and assemble instructions. In the spec sheets it tells everything needed to maintain oil changes, spark plug gaps, carburetor rebuilds and impeller wear ring tolerances.

10 hour checkup?......

As much as I hate saying it, because I hate repair shops, you should take your boat in at the 10 hour check-up.

The reason is simple. You have a brand new boat, under a manafacturers warranty. If you don't get it and say, 14 hours into it, the crank blows, you may be footing the bill.

For the first year or two, while your boat is under the care of warranty, you should abide by all the provisions set forth. That's your insurance. If you are the one that willing violates it and something happens, you may find yourself in the category "voided".

I'm not very optimistic that big money companies are very ethical. It's all about the money........:cheers:

Manuals

I have a seadoo 150 Speedster and I have been listening to this and other forums, a lot of different opinions and a fair amount of misinfomation. But I quickly decided to do my own oil changes, got most of the info from this site which is very helpful for the 215 hp supercharged engines. I changed oil at 14hrs but I was checking oil closely for color and level from 10hrs till I got chance to change. With good preparation it took about 30minutes, I had bought a cheap oil pump for marine engines at Walmart for $18 that worked great. I hooked up the exhaust water, warmed up boat for 5min or abouts at idle. Sucked out 3qts of old oil from oil level dipstick, replaced filter, checked orings (all good, but I had them to change of needed), put in the 3qts of Seadoo oil that I ordered on line from Parker Yamaha, and I have the satisfaction of knowing every thing was done correctly( I even rinsed the filter checking for metal-none found) and it was done very cheaply. PS, dispite all you will hear, this does not void warrantee, I know this will get alot of replies to the oposite but they will be wrong, so, Boat is now ready for next 100hrs!!!
