08 challenger 430hp failed supercharger

[csdoo]

Lost my supercharger on one engine and High temp on other, this occured after it sat for the winter with new year end oil change and service, 20 hours on boat, in shop with dealer now, anyone else gone through this, seems for this high end boat 39,000, I should not see these kind of problems at 20 hrs, thank god for the warrenty, does not solve the inconvience though, looking for feed back

VERY VERY common problem on "ALL" seadoo "supercharged" motors. Make sure they rebuild BOTH superchargers with riva washers and that you use mineral oil. DO NOT use synthetic oil as this is the #1 reason why they fail. Also besure to inspect the clutches every 25hr for wear and do a complet supercharger rebuild every 100hrs. if you do all this you should never have another problem like this. Also if you ever nothic a drop in rpms this is normally a sign of a supercharger failure. Hope this helps.

I an at the mercy of a dealership, I will pass this info along, but since its under warrenty, they will follow specs given by seadoo, they said something about cermic parts needs replaced by titanium parts in the supercharger, I guess is is a silent recall, thanks for the input though,

Yes that correct, the ceramic washers fail. The new OEM seadoo updated washers are actually ceramic coated with titanium BUT they still can fail. TELL you dealer you want him to use the RIVA washer's they are the best one out there. Even if you have to buy the Riva washer your self i would.
