I have the manual, but I've seen a bunch of less than perfect pumps in service. I know it's not 'normal' but it was working fine before I took it apart aside from one oil pressure code. I was just wondering others experience on how imperfect it can be as the manual says any pitting, marring...

Some history: Bought a used 2006 RXT, no issues disclosed to me other than the owner said at some point he had the supercharger rebuilt. Initial run had a problem with very low top speed and eventually overheated. Found and fixed that problem (heat exchanger and seal between it and hull)...

That's what I was kind of piecing together. Oil pumps have been rebuilt, pto housing gasket was aftermarket, everything is generally clean. The only thing I haven't pieced together is where the metal shavings in the filter came from. Unless of course it's really typical as suggested. Generally...

So I think I found the source of those shavings... looking in the supercharger hole there's a part of the case worn away (attached). I cant figure out what would have hit it though. This engine has been opened before, oil pumps were rebuilt, I haven't taken the bottom off yet. Everything's...

I didn't attach more pictures but there were multiple pleats with that amount in it. They were larger pieces, not fine, and didn't exactly give me an easy feeling lol. The history on this thing is a big unknown which is why I decided to pull the engine. I'd only feel better after opening things...

See attached photo... is that normal? The guy I bought it from said he had the supercharger rebuilt but I didn't know enough at the time to ask how extensive the shop went to make sure the washers were retrieved from the oil pump(s). So youre still saying pull the cam, will do. Haha, I knew...

Hey all, I'm about to tear down the oil pumps on my 06RXT. Previous owner had the SC washers go and of course just had the SC rebuilt, i found metal shavings in oil filter and want to pull things apart to clean it out and fix what's needed. My hope is that i can get away with rebuilding the...

With a little will power you can take any finger throttle that will accept the cable end of the seadoo and make it work. There's people that have used a bicycle brake lever even lol. The 'kits' typically come with a block off plate to give it a clean factory look, that is what you'll really be...

your post got me intrigued as I'm a fresh water rider and didn't notice that the anodes were zinc... I couldn't find a direct replacement but i was thinking that you could get a magnesium anode rod from a water heater and make one.

The revised schedule is 100 hrs or every 2 years. OP it's more than just the clutch slippage you need to worry about. The bearing cage can give out and release ball bearings into your motor. I haven't pulled one apart to see but i remember reading the bearing cage is plastic. Exposure to oil...

Hi everyone, Doing a bunch of stuff to my ski over the winter, an intake is on the list. The DIY kanaflex kits for sale are a bit expensive for what they are... but here in Canada I can only find the hose for like $37 CAD a foot which makes the kits look cheap lol. So I'm trying to figure...

OP has an 03. No IBR

It's 4 bolts to take off... + the couple for OPS and reverse gate. Easy peasy

I think I'm going to pull it... I'd rather be certain than not. The machine runs really good and I plan to keep it for a while so it makes sense to me.

So i replaced my speed sensor hoping to see if that made the speedo read closer to what others are getting but nope. New speed sensor will max out at 55mph which is around what the last speed sensor said. So for whatever reason my built in speedo reads low. I did buy a solas impeller i found...

So i have an 06 RXT that i just bought and have been going through the motions of fixing everything wrong with it. Biggest obvious problem was the ride plate was f*cked and poorly sealed to the hull after the last guy tried his duct tape repair. Result was failure to go over 30MPH and...

Only time my skis felt loose and spun was when I had a sponson broken off and didn't know it. My last ski I had worx sponsons on and it turned like it was on rails. Since I bought a stock 215 I've been missing that handling, it does feel loose compared to my last setup.

Check for corrosion on your temperature sensor connectors. I had the same initial problem as you, overheat at high rpms... turned out to be my ride plate. They warp apparently and under higher load the coolant jumps channels amd goes right back into the engine hot. But now that you're getting...

Thanks for this. I was planning on pulling the valve cover to see if I could observe the numbers stamped on the valves as they're on my radar as well... Because I don't know the history there's a slim chance the valves were done but who knows. The engine lift eyes are worn so the motor has been...

I've recently purchased a 2006 RXT 215 with roughly 165 hours on it. First time i drove it there was a problem with top speed and overheating which turned out to be the ride plate. Got a new one, Sealed it properly and it's been good to go. Top speed and RPM are reached. Something that's been...
