You know me well Robin....
You know me well Robin. Feel free to speak for me any day. Welcome to the forum Mburgess.....
The parts index your looking for can be found at
www.seadoo.com under their parts section, for the 97 anyway. I think their parts list ends for the year 1996. If I were you, I'd print all the parts pages for the 1997 model, because next year will be the last year they have the 97 on their site. As long as you have the part numbers, you'll be able to find your parts from cross reference for many years to come.
For your last question.....Parts....There is an online parts house that deals in used and hard to find parts. If you got the part number, it makes it easy as he files everything in order by that part number. Go to
www.seadoosource.com and browse around. If they don't have what you want at the moment, drop him email and he'll probably be able to get it for you. Tell him the Seadoo forum sent you.
For new parts or hard to find parts, there are several online parts distributers. One I use is
www.babbittsonline.com. They usually have what I need, when others don't. But, you may some of their parts pages missing the numbers and prices, but!....if you already have your parts number from Seadoo, you'll be able to use their cross reference part locator and find it.
For engines and pump parts along with carb rebuild kits.....I use
www.sbtontheweb.com.
O.K, I've given you to many of my well kept secrets.....I think you will be happy now.......Good luck. :cheers:
