Re 180 sp depth and water temp

Hey guys! I just bought a 2012 180 SP and have taken it out a couple of times. The boat has modes ie. Ski mode, ECO mode, Cruise mode and also a depth finder, temp gauge. I have played aroung with the Mode and Set buttons and toggle switch but can not acces the depth finder or different modes. I spoke to the dealer and they stated that you can not access the modes until after the 10 hr service so that the motor is properly broken in. Does anyone know for certain and if that is the case, can I not access the depth finder and temp gauge until then also? I can understand not being able to access the modes until broken in, but what about the depth finder and temp gauge. The temp that the boat reads seems to be the temp of the motor and not that of the water. I have read the manual backwards and forward and have even called SeaDoo to find out. The problem is the manual is to vague and the rep at SeaDoo turned me back to the dealer. Having to bring the boat back to the dealer just to get a simple answer would be a total pain.

Thanks

I just recently picked up a 210 sp that had ten hours on it already and I can't figure this damn thing out either? I see the 2 little what look like waves on the dash but that's it and as far as the water temp I can't seem to bring that up either. So I'm just going to rip it around till it needs it's 25 hr service then let the dealer figure it out, I'm not going to keep taking it in and out of the water if I can help it. I think someone is blowing smoke to you if they told you you can't access these minor features on this bout till 10 hrs. I mean come on depth finder is pretty important don't ya think?? If in the meantime I get these features to work ill hit you back and maybe you could do the same. Thanks
 
On mine, I can get depth, but not water temp (mine gives me engine temp only).

Press Mode multiple times until you reach Display, then hit Select. Then under that menu you can move up and down with the toggle switch and there you will find The Depth finder).

FYI, during my first 25 hours, I tried my the Cruise Control mode and twice it happened to me that the entire thing switched to other languages randomly and then froze with 0000 on the screen... it never happened again since.
 
I also have the same issue with my 210 sp. however it has more than 11 hours on it and I still can't get my depth or water temp to display. So if I figure anything out I'll hit you back and you do the same. Thanks
 
I have a 2012 180sp and all of my modes and settings work as well. I bought it used with 34hrs and it now has 39hrs. No issues thus far (knock on wood).
