2012 180 sp - Coolant level

[ldmarteen]

Hi All, brand new boat with not even an hour on it. First ride we discover there was an air bubble in the fiberglass (a hole just slightly bigger than a pencil eraser) - so in the shop it goes (SeaDoo paid). I get it home and checking the boat out and find that the coolant level is at the very bottom of the tank - inches from the minimum level. My dealer said not to worry about it - there's probably an air bubble in the line. Do I take their word for it? I'm taking it out this weekend and don't want to have it back in the shop again. :banghead:

1) if the SeaDoo dealer said it was okay. It's okay.
2) if it's above the minimum level. It's okay

Thanks Wardkid, problem is, it's nowhere near minimum level, it's barely 1 cm on the very bottom.

just put some water in it, like in a car.

Cycleguy88 to the rescue again - TY!!! And I hear it should be distilled water as well.

Take some extra anti-freeze with you just in case. Check to see if it should be straight or a 50/50 mix with water. The distilled is just to help reduce any mineral deposits from the water. Like if you have really hard water the distilled water, or even bottled water, would probably be the way to go although I don't know that I have ever heard of this becoming an issue...
