Finally pulled the Skis out to get them ready for the summer. Put a brand new, fully charged battery in the 97 GTX, put the DESS key on the post and got nothing. Took the key off, hit the start button and the gauges came on. Not sure if i held the button down or pushed it a few times but it...

Not sure if this is really going to turn into a resto but since it might figured this would be the place to share my story. Matt posted a link to a Craigslist ad in my area. SeaDoo & Trailer $300 no title. I offered the guy $200 and picked it up the next day. My original plan was to part it...

Last weekend i sucked up some sand and overheated. I was wondering why i never heard the buzzer letting me know it was running hot. Pulled the head and replaced the O-Rings, flushed all the lines and buttoned it all back up. Tested the buzzer by grounding the wire at the sensor. The warning...

Had the ski out 2 weeks ago, had a great time and went through about 1/2 tank of gas. All was good put it on the trailer and came home. Went out this weekend, long no wake zone then ski would not go over 30mph. Shut it off then would not start. Came home, got it to start but was running ruff and...

Wife and i are bringing the skis to Destin for the weekend of the 29th. Anyone in the area want to join us?

I got 2 sets of Red Tip seat covers for my 96 and 97 GTX's. Back seat came out pretty good, started doing the front seat and was having trouble getting the front seam to lay right. For those that have used these did you align the seam with the edge, tuck it under or have it on top? In the...

Looking at a complete 94GTX with trailer for $350. Owner took the carbs off to clean them and never put them back on. Engine turns over freely but blew all kinds of stuff out of the intake. Whats my best case and wost case scenario? Is a rebuild required or just some cleaning and lubrication...

Hey guys, been awhile since i have been here but i am back now. Last year i somehow got about 5 gallons of gas in the hull and i didn't realize it until about 5 hours later. It appears the gas melted the stator winding and i now have a dead short. I have ordered a new one as well as a new...

Hey everyone, been a while. I hate how life gets in the way of ski time. Beginning of last year i bought a 96 GTX to replace one of my 95s, It ran good but as always needed some TLC. Did all the normal changing the fuel lines, cleaning the carbs, cleaned the rave valves, etc. Went out a few...

This weekend the buzzer started buzzing, when it first started i checked and the head felt cool, i messed with the connection and no change so i figured it was the temp sensor went bad. Tonight i replaced the sensor with one from my parts ski, tightened the clip and cleaned the connection. Still...

I got to take the 96 GTX out for a good test run tonight. After a 10 min run at WOT i let off the gas to come into the landing and the oil light came on, turned off the ski and when i started it again it was off. This happened many times. The oil tank is full, is the light hooked up to a float...

EDIT: Its my 95 GTX i am having the issue with. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to replace a steering cable. I looked at the parts diagram but still unsure of a couple things. How does the plastic "nut" that goes on the outside of the hull come off? Hows does it go back on? Does the cable...

Vacationing in Ormond Beach in July and thought about bringing the skis. Where is the best place to launch? Can i get to the ocean side? Am i allowed to pull the skis up to the shore? I know you can drive on the beach, can i just back the trailer in there or is that not allowed?

Hey guys i need some help. Finally getting around to summer start-up of the skis. Expecting the normal fuel issues since the ski sat for a year with the old gas in it but to my surprise it started right up. Problem is the drive-shaft bearing must have seized up and spun / tore the boot. I have...

Hey everyone, been awhile since i have been here. Funny how life tends to get in the way of ski time. Bought 2 - 95 GTX's a few years ago and had a blast on them. End of the season 2011 one of the motors went and all last year i kept saying i was going to rebuild / replace it but never got to...

Last weekend i was out of town and my daughter calls me and asks if i left the key in the ski. I told her yes i always do as they are in my fenced in back yard with 2 dogs. She then told me she was in the house and heard the ski running so she went out back and sure enough it was. She shut it...

I took my carbs apart for cleaning and of corse the plastic caps are missing from the high speed screws. I did a search here and found all the information of how to adjust them but was unable to find a "standard" starting point. I know 3 turns is max rich but what has everyones experience been...

Hey everyone i have an issue i need some help with. As some of you might already know i purchased a pair of 95 GTX's this winter and one needed a new motor which i have already replace with a used running one. Took both my skis to the lake yesterday and the first one i rode was the one that...
