    More winterization questions

    I forgot to mention that I did buy the full service manual. Everything is in there, even the torque to be applied to each screw. The OP would be wise to buy it. I bought a few manuals from the "Service manual Warehouse" website.

    More winterization questions

    If you are in an area prone to freezing, you must absolutely winterize the exhaust system. The service manual says that the system is self draining for the most part but that you have to blow compressed air at 55 PSI. I just went through that procedure with my GTI 90 and it left me unsure if...

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Also bought the service manual, procedure for emptying exhaust is to blow air inside it at 55 psi. I found the antifreeze method to be safer. I used one gallon for good measure but leaking water started to change color at half point.

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    A bit of both... The GTI 90 is a full size Sea-Doo with the spark trixx engine, the ACE 900 HO. Very affordable machine and very well equipped. Max speed of 45 mph.

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Don’t forget that this is the 900 engine, not the 1500, manual says 2 litres. Now question is: is this the low mark or the high mark?

    2019 GTX230 or Wake Pro230, please give me guidance !

    A cousin of mine was towing his son on a wake board this summer with his Sea-Doo (I think 155 HP). I was wondering if my simple GTI 90 2018 could do the same and I pulled his 160 pounds son out of the water on his wake board in an instant. He didn't even notice the difference. So I am extra...

    4 tec backfiring

    Not a tech at all but I read multiple times here that you could still have water in exhaust system.

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Did the winterization today and I had a few minor worries. First, I tried to blow air into the hose port. I could hear "guggle" sound but almost no water would come out so to make sure (even if my ski is going into the heated garage) I used RV antifreeze by gravity. It took forever for the...

    Having trouble winterizing 2004 RXP

    I did mine with gravity today (and with a funnel in a dishwasher hose) and it took forever for the ski to grab the antifreeze (I was even afraid of overheating). However mine did leak pink at some point. One small trick (maybe): I had mine at a slight angle to the rear, maybe it helped.

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Found everything (I think) Permatex anti-seize silver grade that bears number 767 (Permatex is owned by Loctite I was told). Mercury Marine Lubricant (color blue grease). Hopefully that last one is the appropriate product. Actually, my dielectric grease looks just like Vaseline. I'll get to...

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Grease like this? This is much more affordable. MotoMaster Marine Grease, 400 g | Canadian Tire As for loctite, all I have is loctite 262 (red). Seems like loctite 767 is made for high temperature application so maybe it would be better after all?

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Then I will do the antifreeze method and then blow air! I have dielectric grease here, is this OK? Are there many grades/types of dielectric grease? Actually I used my dielectric grease on my old Sea-Doo 2003 to grease some connectors and didn't have an issue. Also I forgot to ask, same thing...

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Oh and yes, another question, I saw on the video that if I remove the injectors, I need to put some new "Dow Corning 111" grease. Is this a must?

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    Fogging doesn't look too complicated. However, by blowing the muffler/exhaust at 55 psi, can I assume there will be no water left in it?

    My GTI 90 2018 of course (not my 2003).

    Winterization question (couple questions)

    I downloaded the service manual for my Sea-Doo last night and watched some videos on YouTube on what to do for winterization. In a video by 3feetdeep, it is showing how to remove the IBR module and reach for the cone that contains grease and o-rings, change the o-rings and put some new grease...

    IBR when in reverse sprays salt water all inside engine compartment

    Never saw a drop on my GTI 2018. After a thunderstorm if not covered I can see sometimes a few ounces but that is it. Definitely something not normal. How much water remains in the hull after a normal ride?

    Winterization kit

    The local boat guy let me have his. I borrowed it because the one he ordered for me is back order for several weeks ago and it wasn't coming. I attached a dishwasher hose to his adapter as well as a quick connect adapter and it was done in an instant. I was a bit rushed to do this because I only...
