    Danny. I see where u also have a 94 waveraider. I just sold my waveraider. I had 2 skis and sold that one. I only kept the seadoo because it was more buoyant with 2 people. Man I miss that waveraider. Nice ski.

    Why did my motor lock up ???????????

    I guess my dissapointment comes from..... My ski boat is a 92, my fishing boat is a 88. I felt like I did everything to the ski to make it last and it didn't I also did not realize the expectancy is 10 years. And "yes" I do realize just because it shines doesn't mean it's been properly...

No turn over at all. Just a hard starter engaging. I don't think it's the starter or battery because of the...

    Start selinoid question ........

    Four weeks ago I ran the 1999 Sea Doo GTX like a scalded cheateau. Rode it all day and put it up in the garage. Yesterday I went to start it and it just made a funny noise. The battery is new and fully charged, all the connections are good. At first I thought it was the starter. When I...

    96 GTX won't start, pulled starter, now what?

    This happened to me a few years ago. I bought the ski in January with 3" of snow. I started it out of the water, (only ran it for 10 seconds) to buy it. HOwever, once I put it in the water and ran for a few minutes it locked up. Once it cooled, it would run for a couple of minutes, then lock...
