Awesome! I am glad to hear you got it all going! I never bother replacing the speedo, and only one of my tachs was working properly. I bought blanks for the holes, "2 1/8 INCH BOAT BLANK GAUGE PANEL FILLER" was what it was for mine. Looks great!
I have not tried that yet. I have spent the last three weeks just trying to remove the pump. The pump bearing sounds and feels like it is dry (no grease). I just want to check everything before I put the boat back together. I think I may have to cut the bellows off in order to get to the top...
Sorry to bring it back up, but I was finally able to remove the pumps from the boat. The bearing is not seized and seems to be spinning freely. How do I remove the driveshaft? Also can I start the engine without the driveshaft in? Don't want to hurt the boat.
I think the actual pump is corroded to the plate in the hull. It has withstood a lot of penetrating oil and brute force. Any help would be appreciated, the previous owner kept the boat docked in salt water for the summer :/
I know the feeling, I have been spending the last three weeks trying to remove my jet pump, which is corroded in place, and I have had no luck getting it off.
I did fix it. I am sorry robert! I did not see you posted here! I took the same approach and used a proper adhesive and it broke trailering the boat about 500 feet. So I removed the rubber from around the stud, so I had just the metal piece. Then bought a longer bolt, and welded the stud...
Another thing is the engine idle sounds much lower toned than the other engine. And the idle seems to fluctuate slightly. I will check that when I get back
. It just seems weird that something would strip like that from just sitting over the winter.
How can I check either of those things?
I have no idea what this is. I started it up again and it wasn't there. Then I shut it down and started the starboard motor, then the port motor and it made the screeching noise. So I shut them off. Tried again with both motors and it didn't do anything, so I shut them both off and started the...
So I should start the motor and check if that is where the sound is coming from? And I have a press, I just have seen a little tool with splines that I thought was used to remove the impellers.
Will I need a special tool in order to get at it? Looking at the parts diagram, assuming you are talking about #267000030. Thanks, I am sorry for the questions!
So I just started up my 2009 seadoo speedster for the first time this year, getting ready for some warm weather. The starboard engine started up perfectly fine and sounded 100% normal, I proceeded to shut it off and attempt to start the port engine. It turned over for a second then sounded like...
