As most of you know, I blew my engine last spring. Now I have the money and a new engine. This is the get it working thread. Of course with any project like this, when the engine out, it's time to do mods 1) Install a new water filter for the Inter-cooler and a tow shut off valve. I...

A couple of weeks ago, my girl-friend (GF) and I went from Wilmington to Topsail beech and loved it. We both looking over the sound and we love to do a power trip up/down the ICWW next year. This thread is the master planning for this trip. I have a challenger 180 and once I get my new...

A couple of weeks ago, I had posted about metal flakes in the oil filter. So I took it out for a test drive. I got about a quarter mile away from the landing and lost power. As I turned back the engine shut down (seized) and roared no more. :banghead: I am sad... I had surgery that...

Ok I changed my oil. I used a paper towel to wipe out the excess oil at the bottom of the oil filter receiver. I found metal flakes on the towel and on the filter. Should I be worried? look in between The filter is doing it's job. I have not found any thing on the inside (outgoing, I...

OK, everybody knows this. I got lazy and did not run a hose or put it in the water. I figured I would run it about 30 seconds and shut it off. I needed to check something after a fix. So I fired up the engine, ran it at partial throttle and on shut down it gave a very unsatisfying glurg...

I am having the start my boat in reverse with a bit up tick in the throttle. My Idle is not reliable or non-existent. So going from neutral to forward for docking is a bit dicey as the motor cuts off. The idle was better in the season. I did not use the boat much as it sat my driveway...

Been having issues with cavitation on start with this boat. I got a Solas Impeller as a replacement and will put that in today. Before I put it in the pump, I wanted some opinion on the existing wearing. I think I maybe ok. It has some groves in it and it still does fit tight. Here...

Has anybody installed any? I am looking at these: http://www.thmarine.com/products/Lights/Underwater-Lights/Underwater-LED-Lights I can find them on ebay for about 25 each and I am thinking four on the stern.

I pushed up on a beach to eat at restaurant, I must have picked up a rock in the pump. So I push out from the beach and in two feet water, I hear a rat tat tat and I shut down. I tried cleaning out the pump area and I could not get over 4 mph. I finally had my gf tow me to the nearest...

Seadoo in their wisdom to save a buck (good for everybody) just uses a magnet to enable to the motor to start. Has anybody heard of a alternate security system that can be installed on the spark for real security? Aftermarket? Or Factory support DESS on the spark mod?

My brand new/used 2007 RXT on the dealer will not start on the third ride out. ARGH. I got the ski out of the water and narrowed down to the starter relay. Here are my diagnostic steps: 1) used a volt meter check power on batter side, all good. 2) check power on start side, no power on...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMeanhOg5A0 Made a James Bond style video for my Spark. Had a blast putting together.

I am seriously considering the spark. IBR is about a 700 dollar option at my dealer. So should I buy with or without. Internet debate begin!

Has anybody put one on their boat. I have the 180 Super Charger Inter-cooled model. The correct Seadoo part number is 204160259 with a progressive pitch of 10 to 21. Solas does not have anything close. I have read good things on their impellers. One guy (on an other forum) said it can...

I just been through hell trying to figure why my boat is not running. I did not have a computer so I wanted to document my experiences. Theory: Fuel, Fire, Compression and SUCK, SQUEEZE, BANG, AND BLOW. It's that easy. YEAP! So you start with an engine that does not catch when the starter...
