I've been MIA here lately. Been busy with work and a new house and enjoying a season of a trouble free speedster. That all changed yesterday. It sat for 2-3 weeks prior to using it yesterday in my garage. It fired right up and got up to plane just fine then the starboard engine kept losing rpm...

This might be a stupid question but I'd rather ask it and feel dumb than be smart looking at a sunken boat. Does the bilge pump on my SK run even if the battery switch is in the OFF position? Reason I ask is because this weekend the boat will sit in the water most of the time and there's some...

My factory cover has seen better days. It still does the job of keeping the dust off but not the weather. For a garage cover it'll do for a little while but I do need to replace it. What cover do you guys recommend? Doesn't have to be trailerable but that's always a plus.

What oil do you guys use. I like to stick with XPS but man that stuff gets pricy. Any other options out there that are comparable?

Finally managed to sell my 08 RXT and buy a 99 SK. I've been looking for one for a while but most were either trashed or the priced in the stratosphere. Its a yellow 99 with the twin 720s. Unknown hrs bit compression tested good, although I can't remember the #s to save my life right now...

.....to sell the RXT. Put her up on craigslist last night. It was fun while it lasted but now it's time to move on to bigger things.

I've been looking around for a 1800 to purchase and many are the newer Merc powered boats. I know nothing about them in comparison to the older Rotax powered ones. What do I need to look out for mechanically on these Mercs? How is maintenance compared to the Rotax? Also how does the jet pump...

Looks like an insurance claim is in my near future. Idling out this afternoon, I ended up running into a boulder I couldn't see underwater. Scraped nice and deep to the fiberglass on the starboard side about 3-4' pin length. Happy 4th lol!!!

Is the one I have for my 08 4tec pump interchangeable with the 02 GTX DI pump?

2000 RX carb model cranks but will not fire. Is there a trick to doing a compression test? I keep getting nothing on the gauge after about 5 cranks at WOT. Doesn't sound like its got no compression but it could be low, I'm just not getting a reading. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I keep having issues with my hood strut popping off. I've had the lower mount relocated by the dealer then found my upper mount loose. Re tightened it and it held for a while. Came off again and the upper mount is still tight. Looking at it closely I think it may be installed backwards but I...

2000 RX millenium edition for $500 with trailer in decent shape. Motor will start but knocks bad and will need rebuild. Would you take it at that price? I don't mind doing the work. I've had a 951 before.

I'd like to set one up for this summer. August possibly. I'm thinking Lake St. Clair because it has lots of DNR boat launches and offers diverse riding conditions from chop to glassy marsh and also waterfront restaurants on Harsens Island for lunch. Let me know who's in and what date works best...

Pretty much compares it to the yamaha 192 ELkLVYIGUo0

PsfR1VPytVQ Only problem is U.S. Availability and cost. Only dealer I found was in Washington state.

.................finally winterized the RXT and called it quits for the season. Took it off the trailer and put it on a stand to tuck away in the corner of the garage out of the way. Impatiently waiting for May......... And yes I did it all by myself, including the moving it from...

After picking my brain on what can cause it to come off when the hood is shut, here's what I found: -th6hRbCwQI The bolt hoding on that bracket was cross threaded on from the factory. Seemed tight when you put a wrench to it but the bracket was loose. Tightened it more and it snapped...

I'm looking for just the clips that hold the strut on the ball mount. The strut keeps coming off my hood on the RXT and its driving me nuts. I'm sick of buying the whole strut just for the clips!
