Seadoo gtx

[yourboylukey]

Hi All,

I bought a 1993 Seadoo GTX as a little toy for the summer. I've had it out on the lake a handful of times, runs well and starts up fine. The steering is a little tighter than I expected.

When I was cleaning it today I noticed these wires coming out the back by the propeller... Any idea of what its used for? Reverse? Water pump? Steering? etc..

Do I just tape them back together? Looking like they were connected to each other before poorly...


Thanks for the help!

That is for the speed sensor, they connected to that little black plastic paddlewheel.

Thanks Mikidymac - explains why the speed gauge doesn't work lol - the fuel guage malfunction I'm sure is another problem haha!

Do both the wires shown in the picture have to connect to the paddlewheel? the top one looks short in length.

Not sure how to connect 1 or both those wires to it?

Thanks!

you can replace the paddle wheel with a GPS sensor now. if you want a working speedo - that's your best option and I believe in the same ballpark price anyway.

Sabr is right, stock speedos are "happy."
