Well, I sold my Sea Doo and am looking at a good-sized center console for off-shore fishing. Honestly, I really hated to see the Speedster go, but it was in the way of me getting my retirement boat, and I think the right person bought her to enjoy! Thanks to everyone who offered advice and...

Well, we spent the last 5 days camping at the lake and riding on the boat. In an earlier post, I mentioned that I had installed fixed trim tabs to compensate for the inherent porpoising that comes along with the hull design of our boats. The trim tabs work GREAT to correct that. No more...

I asked a machinist friend of mine to make a couple of aluminum trim tabs for me and we installed them this weekend. We made the tabs from 3/16" aluminum, cut at 6" x 10", with a 10 degree angle break leaving 4" hanging off the ride plates. Mounted with three (3) countersunk allen-head screws...

Anyone interested? It's going on Craigslist this week. Listing it for $15,500.00. Retirement is coming soon and I'm looking for a fishing boat for both lake and ocean!! As stated, 2005 Sea Doo Speedster 200. Clean title in hand!!! Twin Rotax 155HP. Superchargers rebuilt by PWC Muscle in...

I'm thinking for my own piece of mind, that I will add a second battery to run my sound system and isolate it from the cranking battery. I cannot find the output of the 4-Tec engines, so do I need the 60amp or the 120amp kit with ACR? And for those of you who have done this, does it charge...

Hydraulic or manual...... Do they exist for the Speedster 200? After getting her to run smoothly by rebuilding the superchargers, and solving (I hope) the electrical charging system bugs....the main dealbreaker with this boat is the porpoising. I'm willing to give up a couple mph on top end...

Got stranded last year with a dead battery and no indication except for the dash light coming on about 30 seconds before the engines died. I'm installing a voltage gauge this year, but don't know what to anticipate for the typical output of the charging rectifier so I can know if it's actually...

Alright...whoever said just get in there and do it........well, yeah, that's what you have to do...BUT...whoever designed the engine compartment on the Speedster 200......should be hit between the eyes a couple of good hits. DAMMIT!! Spent most of the afternoon pulling the superchargers off so...

So after extensive searching, I finally came across a trim tab that was manufactured specifically for the Sea-Doo. It is a mechanical trim tab that is fixed to the ride plates. I've found numerous pictures of the tabs, and even some discussion on this forum as well as on Green Hulk. I can...

Are there direct analog or digital replacements that can be installed to replace the idiot lights on our boats? I actually prefer to have a meter that would indicate a voltage drop instead of a light that comes on about 30 seconds before the battery is dead. Same for oil pressure and temp...

Out on the water yesterday. Cranked great at the dock and ran great for about 45 minutes. Moored up for several hours on a shoreline to hang out with friends. Battery switch on while sitting, but radio not playing and sump pump disconnected due to previous owner warning that the float switch...

Anyone know where to purchase the manual trim tabs for the Sea Doo Speedster 200? Can't seem to find them anywhere online, and after taking my new boat out for a shakedown cruise yesterday, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need them if I am going to keep the boat. The porpoising is going to be a...

Just popping in to say howdy folks! Purchased a 2005 Speedster 200. It's in great shape, well taken care of and maintained, but there will always be little things to happen and I've found over the years that experience from forum members can solve most problems! Looking forward to interacting...
