I have two identical 2003 SC 4-tec GTXs with same hours on both (approx. 95) and I appear to have a similar problem with one of them. Tops out at 6400 rpms at around 50mph. The other one will do 7800 and top out around 65mph. Just took them both out yesterday and the problem ski showed the...

Thanks for the quick feedback Michael - it is most appreciated! It seems the more I learn the less I know ;) Was able to start ski without any problems yesterday but not sure if I corrected the problem permanently or if this problem is just waiting to happen randomly again. I've ordered a...

Just went out, put on the lanyard, got 2 beeps, and it started right up! -- what the f^&*? I didn't do anything to the ski in the last 24 hours so go figure. Did this several more times and all is well. I could hear the subtle slapping of the starter relay closing and opening each time I...

Hi Michael: Same configuration on my Start/Stop: took the top off of it, cleaned the clamshell well and sprayed silicone on it. The actual switch (underneath) appears OK and popping in and out OK but that could be misleading. Strangely, when I attached the lanyard this time, I got a long beep...

Interesting that you bring that up! The start/stop switch appeared "sticky" so I sprayed it with WD40 to loosen it up but it still appears to operate a little gummy. Can I remove the rubber-like cover and look under it without doing any damage? It could be something with this switch since...

Thanks Michael for the quick reply. I had to remove lanyard then immediately replaced it ....got one long beep with no display at all...tried this repeatedly with no luck....back to the original problem. Checked all the fuses which appear OK. I just pulled the battery and I am heading out to...

Hi Michael: 2003 GTX 4-tec SC ltd Having a similar problem: Was on the water, turned off my seadoo, went to restart and just got one long beep, many attempts at reconnecting lanyard yielded the same one long beep. Replaced the DESS post, still got one long beep for several days but today...

2003 GTX 4-tec SC limited: I seem to be having a similar or same problem including the loose battery terminal...replaced DESS post but didn't help...replaced the 5 amp fuse, connected lanyard and got 2 beeps and display activated - hurrah! Removed lanyard ...then put it back on only to get one...

Tried 5 presses on the start button but no beeps. Noticed the Start button was resistant, like it was catching a little bit when pressing it, so I pressed it numerous times to loosen it up. Tried the 5 presses again but again no beeps. BUT when I put the lanyard back on I got 2 BEEPS, the...

DESS problem I replaced the DESS post but still getting one long beep. What next? Thanks, Kerry.

After getting a long beep only (not the two quick beeps I expected), research indicated it was most likely a bad DESS post (since they are known to wear out frequently). Well I just replaced the DESS post and I'm still getting one long beep (of rejection). Any ideas on the next step to take...

Thanks Lou! So I just need to slide the throttle and vts/start out to the sides just enough to clear the cover?

I need to replace same (DESS post) on my 2003 GTX. What do I need to remove to access this DESS post? Any special tools required? Tips, tricks? Thanks in advance!
