This is a bittersweet post. After 6 great years, we are selling our 2010 Challenger 210 SE in order to move up to a boat we can do overnight cruising on. She has been a wonderful boat for us. We purchased the boat in 2014 with 27 hours on the engines from a couple that was getting transferred to...

When I winterized the boat, I took I too the boat ramp to warm the engines up. When I was finished, I pulled the boat to the top of the ramp, pulled the drain plug, and antifreeze (from what I would later figure out was the port engine) flowed out. Clean antifreeze (no oil). After...

Here's a video that I would like you all to watch and see if you think a pump rebuild is in order for my starboard jet pump. The bearings definitely sound different between the two. Thanks for the advice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqnBtyuX8-k&feature=youtu.be

I'm getting the exhaust pipe out of my SPX to get the plugs welded. I got the plugs from racerxxx, and they are perfect. Question: Is there anything else I should do with the exhaust while i have it apart? Any other potential problem areas I should check out? I'm thinking I'll have them...

Question for you coastal riders (ski and boat). This video was taken from my 2010 210 Challenger SE. The two SeaDoo skis are a 2003 XP and a 1995 SPX. The question is: On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being biggest), how big are these waves compared to the worst riding conditions you've been in...

I picked up a 1996 SPX (at least the registration paperwork says it is a '96). It's in great shape. I've not had a non-DESS seadoo before, so I have a few questions: -with the cutoff switch, was there a beeper that should chirp when I put the key on it? If so, where is the beeper located...

All, I have a buddy that has a '96 XP with the 787 engine. In order to get it running right, he has done the following: -Rebuilt carbs -Replaced all fuel lines -cleaned fuel tank -replaced valve (On/Off/Res) -Blocked off Oil Pump and gone to premix. -replaced rotary valve cover (Carb Bolts...

Does anyone know the difference between the impellers on the port and starboard impellers on a 210 Challenger? The parts diagram shows different part numbers for each side. I took the pumps off to change the wear rings and noticed that the starboard side impeller has rounded "corners" on the...

This is a popular thread on some of the Jeep forums I'm on, so I thought I would try it here. The purpose is to post a few words about what you worked on, ordered, rode, etc... It's a positive thread to keep people informed of what they could be doing with their boat. I'll kick it off...

The stats displayed are from the GPS in my Sony Action Cam. The average speed shown is for the entire video, not just the clip. Looks like idle to ~45mph in about 15 seconds. 47mph peak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfJEbZesX3c

Whoever said that docking jet boats was harder than stern-drive boats is nuts. I love my 210 Challenger. I can turn it on a dime, and I've not even had it long enough to feel comfortable with it yet. And, yes, I meant to say fenders... duh. http://youtu.be/dam6NvMbw28

On my 2010 210 Challenger, the deck drain just empties out on top of the fuel tank. I expected it to go to a scupper valve somewhere. Can somebody else with a 210 check and see where their deck drain goes? Thanks.

Right to the point: How do you remove the ski pylon? The label says to remove it when it's not in use, and I can't find it anywhere in the manual or online. I'm are it is something simple...

Hey. I sold the '99 Sportster 1800 and just purchased a 2010 Challenger 210 with less than 30 hours on it. Needless to say, I'm stoked. The boat is in great shape. Very clean and well-cared-for. The first question I have is: What size is the cooler? It's not with the boat, and I'm...

Hey all, As I was explaining my spring maintenance plan to my wife, she said "You sure do spen a lot of time working on the boat each spring to get it ready for the season, why don't we get something newer that is not as much work". I'm not going to argue with her, so I'm putting the '99...

I was at the lake today testing the fixes Dr Honda recommended for my low speed issue. Those are fixed. Here is my next challenge: Cruising the lake at almost wide open throttle. Both engines synced at 6500 RPM. After about a minute (that's a guess), one of the engines faded back to about...

I have a 1999 Sportster 1800. I've searched the forum, but haven't been able to narrow down the issue. I rebuilt the carbs on both engines over the winter. I have also replaced the fuel filters and oil filters as part of my normal spring maintenance. I took the boat to the lake today for a...

I have a friend with a '96 XP. We rebuilt the carbs last year, and cleaned them about a month ago. Here is the symptoms as he describes them: Is this an obvious set of symptoms to anyone? Just wanted to check before we start troubleshooting.

The port engine tuned pipe on my 99 Sportster 1800 keeps separating at the connection between the pipe and the cone (large rubber hose connecting the two sections). It does this under heavy acceleration a short time after getting underway. Is this a symptom of a larger problem, or as simple as...

What type of clear hose should I use to replace my water lines? Ive searched all over, but don't see anybody specifying a replacement type/brand. The hose at Lowe's shows 70degree operating temps, which I believe is too low. What do you guys use?
