Hey everyone. I just want to reach out and see if I might be on the right track here. Almost all of my instruments bounce in the Islandia. Boat is new to me by a couple of weeks and I haven't replaced the batteries yet but I was wondering if weak batteries could cause some issues that look like...

Good day all! Hope all is well with everyone here on the forum. I have been away from Seadoo for a few years but not boats in general. Sold my 18' this last year and am looking to get back in with something larger and more featured. I have always liked the Islandia and am scheduled to look at a...

Put a few more hours on the Spark Saturday around Tarpon Springs and down to Clearwater. Activated Sport mode for the first time. I have to admit on was skeptical about how much of a difference there would be, but I was very impressed! Now, on to getting hull numbers! Anybody have someone...

Ok, took cap off and found busted spring and some rust. Do I have a problem here or do I need to just clean, replace the spring and re-assemble? Thanks!

Hey all you Spark pioneers, I am seriously considering adding a spark to the garage alongside my 97 XP. Anyone have input on a ride comparison between the two. I figure the 3up Spark would be as capable as my XP in the areas around Tampa. What do you guys think? Thanks! Chris

Ok, I am replacing my starter again this year after putting in a used OEM last year. Rebuilt my original OEM and will install tonight. I can't find what I consider a definitive answer, so my question to you all is, do you grease, lube the starter shaft with anything? Reason I ask is because I...

Well, my 1997 XP gave all the typical starting problems and went through all the normal steps to remedy. Ski has new AGM battery, new starter, new ground cable, cleaned ground connection in coil box but still no consistent starting. Here is where it gets interesting. With plugs out ski turns...

This may seem like and odd question, but after my broken motor mount and shredded driveshaft damper I'm a little edgy about my ski. Situation is motor mount broke, drive shaft damper was abused, so tonight I pulled motor mount to replace. Happened to have plugs out to inspect them and just...

Hello all! Well, my 1997 XP nearly shredded the front torque tube(drive shaft) damper on Sunday. I started poking around and pulled on exhaust and motor lifted right up. The motor mount on the exhaust side broke. My question is this, am I correct in thinking that the motor mount breaking...

Ski has been hard to start, so I was checking some things and wanted to verify compression. Compression jumps right up to 150 in both cylinders, but the Mag cylinder reading drops after 5 seconds or so. Does this give anyone more knowledgeable an idea where I am losing the compression? Does...

So a screw fell through my carb and jacked up my rotary valve over the weekend. I pulled the motor out because I thought I was going to have to split the cases to locate the screw, but once I got the jugs off I was able to remove the little bugger. My friend that was "helping" pulled the...

Hello, if I bore my cylinders to 1.5 over do I need to match the head. I have gotten conflicting opinions on this question and I would just like to get the communities thoughts on this. I was going to have cylinders bored and buy new pistons. Now i'm thinking I may just go with a cylinder...

Like the title says, looking for aftermarket sponsons for my 1997 XP. Shoot me a PM if you have a set with your asking price. Thanks!

Hey all, Added a tach from a 1996 GSX to my 1997 XP and it reads around 7K (should be 3k on hose?) RPM at idle. I have a 10K ohm resistor in line per info I obtained from this site. Does it matter which yellow wire to the rectifier I tap? Thank you!

Hi all, Just dropping a quick note to say howdy and say this forum has already been a help to me. Hope to enjoy this forum and the ski! -Coopnjaxdad (Chris) ---I just realized this is in the wrong forum section!!! Son of a! Sorry guys!--
