Hi, looking for a little help here. I have the above noted machine. Last summer the coolant all spilled out of it through the coupler joint at the thermostat (pretty sure a dealer caused this but meh). I think I ruined the O-ring putting it back in wrong when trying to fix it so I want a new...

Spent hours on this and I need help. See attached picture. No matter what I try, I can't get this hose connector to snap in place. It came loose somehow (I suspect the dealer I brought it to pulled it off to check some smoking I had coming out of the back and they didn't connect it properly)...

Hi: Pulled my Sea-doo out for the season today and took it out to stretch its legs. 5 minutes in it started to bog out. Took it directly back in and pulled the seat and saw the oil cap was off. I must have forgotten to replace it last fall when I serviced it. Engine was pretty hot and it...

Hi all: After an extremely busy year, my 95 XP never made it out of storage this year so I decided to sell it to a friend. Too late for them to take it out this year so I was wondering, is it better for them to leave it winterized from last fall or should they start it up and blow out all the...

Not sure what it's like elsewhere but in Southern Ontario this has been the worst Spring I can remember. It should be mid 20s by now (about 80 for the uninitiated) and it's barely reached 20 a couple of times so far and the long term forecasts don't look any different. Also rainy and windy...

Hi all: Shutting down my GTI 155 SE for the year. One of the steps BPR recommends is flushing out the exhaust with an air compressor. I made the hose with an air tool connector they suggested, put 55 psi on the hose post at the back of the machine and after 30 seconds, no water comes out...

Hi: I'm going to tackle why I'm taking on an inch or two of water whenever I take my XP out now (and/or just use a bilge pump work around) . I have two questions: 1. Can anyone see anything obviously bad in the two attached pictures of my driveshaft assembly? Just looking for a starting...

At the advice of some knowledgeable people here, I pulled my pump out today and checked to see if I have rubber bumpers on each end of my impeller drive shaft. The results: yes, I have one on the impeller end (which is weird because the issue was raised because mikidymac thought it looked like...

Hi: Edit: Never mind, I see now that the LCD is lighting up all bars, it's just a lot dimmer than I expected. Time to look at the fuel sensor.

Sigh. Put my ski in the water today to try out the new wear ring I put on it yesterday. First time this season. Wouldn't start and after a minute of trying, the starter started screaming at me and I pulled the seat and couldn't budge the drive shaft. This motor started fine in my driveway...

Hi all, I said this day is coming and here it is (please be patient, I'm no expert but I've done my best to learn/investigate before bothering anyone). Here's what I know: - No gauges worked last year when I bought machine. I replaced new VTS and Tach gauge because they were cracked and...

Hi all: I pulled the tarp off my '95 717 Sea-doo XP last weekend, put the battery in (that was on a trickle charger all winter) and sadly, it turned over a couple of times and quit. I charged the battery overnight, pulled the plugs to make it easy and nothing but a click each time I hit the...

I currently have a 1995 XP. I bought it last spring just to play around with to see if I'd get any use out of it and surprise! I had a great summer of fun. The only thing missing is my family to share it with because it's way too shaky to be comfortable with a passenger (the XP has a weight...

Hi all: I've been lurking in here since the Spring and I've learned a ton from some obviously knowledgeable yet generous people willing to share. I bought a 95 XP 717 in early June. I've always wanted some kind of watercraft but I've never considered myself a boater so a Sea-Doo was perfect...
