2008 Seadoo Challenger 180se 215hp - Neutral Issue

Alright guys now the boat is trying to creep on it's on when sitting in neutral. Any thoughts?

Mine does the same thing. It's a new boat to me, I thought it was normal for a jet boat.

It's pretty normal for the jets being there is no transmission and no true neutral. You have a little bit of adjustment with the reverse bucket cable, but not much as you always want to make sure the buckets latch in the up position.

So how can I adjust the bucket cable? And bucket latch is in the up position? Pretty green.

There's a latch on the side of your reverse bucket bracket that locks the buckets up at full throttle to ensure they don't drop down on you and cause the boat to slam into reverse. There's also a cable that exits the transom that allows for a little bit of adjustment to raise or lower the reverse bucket.

Too much adjustment and the bucket won't latch in the fully up position.

I think all jet boats creep in neutral...Easy fix, shut off the engine
