New owner. Sea doo 2 stroke 150 speedster. 2003. Repair man says everything is ok but i need a new throttle cable. Diagnose and maintenance check was $150 but damn the throttle cable is another $450. I figured a throttle cable, $50 plus installation!
Any thoughts on why this cost so much!?:confused:
 
Labor at $99.00 per hr, plus average $180.00 for a cable.figure 2 hrs plus tax... It adds up...you could do it yourself,and save lots of money. If you want you could join as a "premium member" As a premium member you can down load a authentic seadoo manual from the seadoo manual library. In the library is a variety of manuals for almost all years and models. You can view as many as you like on line as a PDF file, or download it and print it for your personal and privet use.

It contains wire diagrams torque specs and pictures for disassemble and assemble instructions. In the spec sheets it tells everything needed to maintain oil changes, spark plug gaps and impeller wear ring tolerances. Click on the "Seadoo Manuals" link at the top of the page for more details.

Ebay for the cable, see them all the time.
Tape them together at carby end pull through to levers and attach.
$100's saved!!!:cheers:
The hardest part will be getting throttle levers out, normally seized bolts, spray with pb blaster the night before, that's if repair man hasen't stripped them already and that's why it's going to be so expensive to fix!!!:rofl:
