My 2005 RXP began running slow, maxing out at 54 mph at 6500 rpm. Knowing about the ceramic washers from this forum (thanks to all posts on that topic) I took it to my dealer. Sure enough, the washers were toast. Dealer replaced washers, and put in a pop-off valve. The very next time on the water, ran great for one day, then when I was running in the middle of the lake at 68 mph, the ski completely locked up, and would not start. I took it back to dealer, who says that the shaft of the supercharger is bent and the bearings are all ruined. I was not jumping wakes or anything when this happened. Does anyone have any idea about how this could happen just running across the lake? I am concerned because the dealer is charging me 800 to fix this - right after I paid them 690 to put in the new washers and popoff valve. I am unfortunately not a mechanic and cannot work on it myself. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
