Newbie asking questions

[jjjbullard]

I have a cpl question that i hope can be answered. First i just bought my first seadoo sportster a 05 with 11 hours on it. I've been reading on the whole washer thing on the sc will i make it through the season without haveing to change them out? Second when i spin the boat around somtimes it goes to a high rpm but its like its spinning out is that normal? I always let off the trottle cause im scared i will do some kind of damage. If anyone can answer a cpl questions for me i would greatly appriciete it

SC washers, unknown that can go out as early as 5 hours, change them before doing any major boating

is the tail leaving the water when you spin? if so there is no water in the pump, so itll rev out, and will be a quick spin

 

[jjjbullard]

It don't leave the water completly but it does rev out in churned water. Not sure if this normal or not.

 

[Chris_cox]

yes it is, if the pump does not intake just water it will allow the engine to rev out

Yup that normal when you spin, just be sure to let off. your boat only has 11hrs but id get it hooked up to bud to be sure. But if you do have 11hrs then you should only need to replace the washers witch are $100. Cheap insurance for a $5000 motor.
