    2006 or 2008

    I live in SE Massachusettes. I checked the price on JD Powers and it came up with $5,930 (I know it's not acurate but it's a ballpark figure). I talked to my mechanic and he said $5,800 would be a fair price with the trailer. I went and looked at it and it is in excellent condition. The guy is...

    2006 or 2008

    Well, I went and looked at the 2008 and it was in awful condition! The gelcoat up front was all cracked, the hull was scraped up badly, anything aluminum was covered in corrosion, when he started it up there was a very pronounced rattling sound and it turned out to have 173 hours on it. Needless...

    I plan on bringing it in to a dealer to have it checked over. I was told they can check the SC for slip tolerance or something like that? Should I just go ahead and see if they can do it before the season starts? I don't want to end up in a situation like I did with the 2002 GTX I bought last...

    2006 or 2008

    So I've had the opportunity to see both of these skis now. The 2006 has a couple small nicks in the gelcoat but nothing major. It has 76 hours on it. The guy said it had 67 hours on it when he bought it and just had it gone through for peace of mind. Nothing failed. All work was done by an...

    2006 or 2008

    I was actually just reading about the ceramic washers and how they would explode. Maybe that's what happened and why he had to get it rebuilt. The 2008 seems like the better option at this point. From what I've read a rebuild cost around $500-$600. If I use the fact that it should have been...

    Oh, Spring of 2023. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

    It would have been rebuilt around 65 hours.

    2006 or 2008

    So I'm looking at a couple machines and would like some opinions. One is a 2006 RXT 215 with 75 hours, supercharger was rebuilt 10 hours ago, has a new wear ring and Solas prop. Comes with a trailer and two matching life vests. He's asking $6k. The other is a 2008 RXT 215 with 150 hours. Also...

    So that would be the line in the middle with the filter on it going into the front of the engine correct?

    I found the diagram of the oil system but I'm not sure which line I need to put the valve on.

    Any chance you have a link to them? I did find this one on Amazon: Valve Looks like it's a 1/4" valve.

    787 RFI Another Oil In Cylinder question

    I am going to take your advice and put in the shut-off valve. At least it will be runnable that way. I tried searching the manual but I can't seem to find what size tubing it is. Any idea what size it is or what size valve to get?

    787 RFI Another Oil In Cylinder question

    Yes, I put DI in my original post because it's Direct Injection; my bad. It's not a GTX DI but a GTX RFI with the 787 ROTAX engine. I did find a rebuilt on eBay for $699. Comes with a no fault warranty. Just need to find someone willing to swap it out for me. I can't do it anymore because the...

    787 RFI Another Oil In Cylinder question

    I think I'm just going to sell it to someone who can either do the rebuild or wants to have it done. I no longer have the tools or the space to mess whith it. The ski is super clean and in great shape with a brand new trailer. I won't get my money back but I should be able to get a decent down...

    787 RFI Another Oil In Cylinder question

    I used it all summer without an issue. Then it sat for about six weeks until I went to winterize it. I went to start it and it just “clicked”. I thought the battery had run down so I pulled it out and charged it. I tried starting it again but same results. I took it to a guy who works on these...

    787 RFI Another Oil In Cylinder question

    I just talked to the guy who looked at it for me and he said I have the Rotax 787 RFI RAVE engine. My bad! Sorry about the confusion. I'm sure it makes a big difference! :oops:

    787 RFI Another Oil In Cylinder question

    Thanks but I need volume 1. I have a 2002 GTX RFI DI. I may not have listed it correctly because I put DI. I was told it was Direct Injection. The decal says GTXrfi. Sorry if I got it wrong!

    787 RFI Another Oil In Cylinder question

    OK, thanks for the info. It will be awesome if this fixes the problem! Now I just need to figure out where the pump is and pull it out. I'm very good with fixing cars but I don't know much about these machines. Time to get a shop manual.
