Praising the 2000 Speedster!!

[Thunderkat13]

Oh Boy Oh Boy!!!!! :hurray:
Just want to express my excitement and kuddos to the forum and seadoo for helping me with the new boat to me
I took the boat out today despite the windy conditions and after a 20 min run to the damn to block the winds, we put the boat to its first real action this season..We boarded from 6pm to 9pm with out a single flaw...
I am so impressed with the amount of power the Merc 2 puts out, I mean hands down I feel as if this boat pulls a wakeboarder better then our family (parents boat) Yamaha 212x Wake edtion... Granted the wake needs a little more help (adding a 300lb fat sac to ski locker to help with that).. The power to pull and get to plain (23mph) was instantly there and so easy to hold the speed. We would actually gain 1 -3 mph while rider went airborne and then back to 20-21 with boarder in the water.. Im still shocked about the eaze the boat had plainning with (180-200lb rider at 55-60 ft behind)....

I cant wait to get the tower on and sac in there!!!! I wont be selling this boat!!!

Summer is going to be so sweet, Glad I built and sold the 96 sportster to get this 00 speedster!!

Thanks Seadoo forum!!
:cheers:

I did notice on the way back to the dock at full speed bouncing around my oil light would flash every once in a while never stayed on for more a split second.
Any thing to look for?

If the oil is fine it might be a bad sensor.

Ok, Ill look into how to pull and test the oil sensor or if its cheap enough Ill just buy a new one just to be safe
Thanks Karl

I dont know if they are universal through the years but this seems cheap.

The test is simple. If the engine mounted tank is full and the sensor is good you should have NO continuity in the sensor. If it is empty or the sensor is bad you will get continuity.

Also make sure the small tank is totally full. To do this with the boat either on the water or with the hose running, loosen the cap on the engine mounted tank, and start the engine. Wait until oil starts to leak out of the cap, and then tighten the cap and shut the engine off. You do not want any air in the tank.


Don't let it get out that you like the Mercury though, you might get voted off the forum............:rofl:
