Currently engine idles at 1400rpm on the trailer. I have had a few of these carb models and DIs. Isn’t the carb model supposed to idle at 2800-3000 on the trailer not in water? Seems to have a slight mis while at idle as well. How can I tell if the carb is adjusted correctly or which ones low...

Just got done with doing some work on my challenger 215s port engine. New HG, thermostat housing…etc. Testing both engines out on the hose to top off coolant on the port and make sure all is good. I noticed something strange. Port engines IC water is cold Starboard engine IC water fairly hot...

Looking for everyone’s technical input. 08 challenger 230 with twin 215s One engine has been using coolant and oil. I taped an overflow bottle to the coolant reservoir and did a WOT run and the bottle was full - indicating a head gasket as I suspected. Visual inspection I see oil running...

I just received my boat back from my fathers friend who owns a boat Upolstry shop. He redid my Bimini with zippers to remove and made a 1 PIECE COVER to my specs. Specs: -Cover the swim platform to protect my seadek -Cover as much fiberglass to rubrail as I can! -Ability to install the cover...

Anyone on the forum with a sport boat (not a pwc) successfully able to add an external intercooler in place of their internal one? The 520hp (2 x 260s) comes with an external cooler but the mounting bracket is NLA from sea doo. I am not even sure where it would mount without physically seeing...

Boat seems to start and run fine then it draws back power and I get all the beeps you hear in the video. There is to many so I can’t make heads or tails of the sequence

For those of you who have seen my posts I have been busting my hump on this boat to get it to like new condition. So far I am about 90% there but I have one issue to address that I didn't really anticipate nor did I know I had until I started using the boat every weekend. Its one that really...

Where can I order parts for this trailer. I have tried to search and this one part doesn’t seem to show up

2008 challenger 230 Do I have to remove the entire cup Holder compartment to change the bulb on the top that faces down to light them? If so that requires me to remove the back rests becuase the screws are behind them. Is there a trick to pop the light housing out of the cup holder to change...

Figure i share. Ordered Hydro turf 3 weeks ago and it said 2-4weeks shipping. Now its 8-10 weeks. PWC muscle refunded the charge and had to shell out big dollars for sea dek from Jet Boat Pilot with a 2 week lead time. Figure I share for everyone. PWC Muscle, great to deal with!! Will be...

Figure I share some news fiara beede helped with today. If you are not already aware our fuel gauges work from 4-90ohms. 90 being empty and 4 full. This is opposite of automotive. There are no marine gauges available to this standard. They are 30-240 ohms. Fiara beede no longer sells or...

I am finally getting my 08 Challenger 230 SE back together. The only thing i do not have hooked up are the tachometers. I went to start the motors (individually) and its apparent that the port engine idles much higher. I obviously dont have the tachs yet but should i be worried. Do the ECUs sync...

Need some help. My sea doo has 4 wire switchs which I believe are single pole single throw SPST for most of the switchs except the Nav/anchor light. My question is the wiring doesn’t line up with any switch I can find. Any idea what the 4 post is for with the resistor does? I would think these...

Just picked up a 08 230 430hp. I am looking for a shop manual for the boat with wiring diagrams, as well as engine manuals. Here is what i am most concerned about right now. All the gauge bezels are yellow and spider cracked. I cannot see any of the gauges. I think i can bring the 2 engine...

Boat runs great, starts and runs every time. My bilge is getting some gas/oil mixture due to small amounts forming on the tin plate on the bottom of the intake flame arrester. Is this normal? It’s not a lot, but maybe 1/4oz over 3-4 tanks of gas. Def premix because it has the blue tint and it’s...

So I know this has probably been beat to death but this may be one of the worst boats I ever owned in my life. This thing is either to light or the hull is to flat for high speed that I cannot for the life of me get it to stop porpusing and take a wave. Here is my ride plate. Seems pretty far...

Installed a Y16 series might max gel cell and my machine gave me problems over and over. Maintenance light blinking, no beeps. Limp mode idle only. Came home and checked rectifier and sure enough over voltage. 17-18 at 5k rpm. So I was like dam I need a rectifier. Since I have 2 identical...

Finally the wife and just got the bimini installed from empire covers. 79” -91”, 48” tall, now have to modify my mourning cover to fit it over the Bimini boot. $263 shipped with the better canvas option Hopefully the cheap nylon mounts will hold up...

https://cobrajetsteering.com/cobra-mercury-optimax.html Has anyone ever used these on their Challenger 1800? My steering at low speed is horrible and at high speed requires alot of correction
