Hello all,
New to the Forum and New owner of a 1996 Sea Doo Sportster, I have a few questions
The Boat won't plane with 2/3 people in the boat unless you send one or both to the front until your over the hump, Is this typical or am I missing something.
Wear ring was just replace due to the above (before it wouldn't plane at all), Noticed impeller was a little dinge on the leading edge cleaned that up a bit, Curious on the skat trak Swirl impeller I believe the 15/20 is the one to get (any advise would be great on this prop choice, also looking for more bottom end)
Also I re-lubed the pump and it had a spring in it that went from the cap to the shaft bolt, and noticed that the there was forward back play (as in the impeller moved front to back inside the wear ring area making the impeller stick out 1/8 to 1/4 inch out of the pump.) Is that normal.
I heard of the scupper update anyone care to elaborate?
Any other mods / update I should do?
I'm sure its been beat dead about oil should I stick with the xps semi-syn or full syn or is there something else that you all use.
Haven't ran compression #s yet but will get to it this weekend but seems to run great.
Any help appreciated thanks in advance
