In a newbie...so please tell me if I'm posting in the wrong area .
I have a '98 Challenger 1800 that's sitting at an "authorized" Seadoo dealer/repair shop, just waiting on me to provide them with an oil reservoir (OEM part 204550029) that has been discontinued and apparently more rare and harder to find than the Holy Grail.
On the 4th of July, our oil level sensor light came on, & when my husband docked to check, all 2 gallons of oil he put in a couple weeks earlier was sitting in the engine compartment The tank is toast (cracked). The mechanic said if we could "come up with the tank", or one that would fit/could be converted, he'd install it. It's the "coming up with one" that I'm havin' a problem with...
I guess I should mention, I know NOTHING about mechanical/boat issues, & my husband has basically washed his hands of the whole situation, since his vote was to throw a couple of sticks of Dynomite in the boat on the 4th & have our own special fireworks display...he says he's done throwing money into the d*** thing. So, here I am, trying my best to take charge of the problem and handle it myself...but ANY help or useful advice (keyword USEFUL...please, please no snarky comments or ridicule) would be more than appreciated!
Btw, 1st post...so, "Howdy, y'all"!
