Like the title says. I just bought a 2011 seadoo speedster 150 at an online auction. I pick up the boat this friday and want to be prepared to go through it and do general maintenance before trying to get it running. I own a 95 speedster with the twin 657's and have rebuilt one of the engines and all the carburetors but the 4tec is new to me so I want to get everyone's opinions. As of now there is no service records or information available. I will ask when I pick it up. The boat was used on a marine base and was rented out so hopefully the maintenance was done but I wont know for sure. What should I inspect, look for and do before trying to get her running?
My plan
1. inspect everything, see if there is anything major out of order. Any suggestions on what to look at?
A. wear ring
B. impeller
2. new spark plugs
3. change coolant
4. Change the oil. (my understanding is that the boat needs to run to change the oil) Should I do what I can then run the boat and finish the job or just wait until its running and do it once?)
5. Change jet pump oil
6. ?
Thanks for your help!
