I purchased a 717 motor for my Seadoo sportser 1800 last year in may and it ran great for about 30 hours.
I had to replaced the other motor just last month and it's been on the water for about 7 hours running great with both engines.
The 1st motor replaced started running rough so I shut it down and limped it home on one engine. Tested compression and it was at 90PSI and 150PSI Pulled the head and found some slight scuffing on the cylinder wall on one side. Pulled the Cylinder and have what looks to be a bearing disintegrated and a groove in the piston.
Before I put it in the water this summer I rebuilt both carbs and visually verified both oil pump works but somehow it killed a bearing.
Kinda bummed out since it was only weeks out of it's one year warranty and no more than 30 hours.
That's all.
