Mon, 31 Mar 2025 15:34:41 +0000

Hello all. My name is Robert. I am from Northern Indiana where the weather sucks at the moment. I recently purchased a 2011 Sea-Doo 210 Wake 310 and I am itching to get it in the water. I am new to boat maintenance as well but I have been doing my research on these Rotax engines. So far, Ive read that I did choose the better deal by not going supercharged due to the extra maintenance. I just purchased everything needed for a my preseason oil change. I will be tackling that this week.

Does anyone have any problematic areas I should keep an eye on for these boats and engines? Any special products that work better than others?

Thank you all in advance and I am happy to be a part of the club.

Speedster 200 -04 4-Tec engine issue

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 10:39:19 +0000

Hi
Just love my Speedster 200 with twin 155hp engines. However, I have a concern which I can not pinpoint. Maybe someone here can help me out.

At harbour, both engines fires right up and runs well (regardless if hot or cold). When I take it out to the ocean and gives some throttle (more than 50%) the right engine sooner or later starts to run rough, as if one cylinder shuts off. If I let go of the throttle and get back to 50%throttle it will still be in this loop of running bad. But if I pull the lanyard and kill the main switch, and switch it back again and restarts, the engine runs perfect until next time I give som throttle. I use Candoo pro, it doesnt throw any error codes.
I had this issue last year and then I also got an engine "red alert". Last winter I pulled the fuel pumps, changed filter and put in fresh gas. The problem still occours but no "red alert".
I have therefore done the following (with no progress):
- switched fuel lines
- switched spark coils
- put in new spark plugs
- Removed the hose for air inlet

With "switched" I mean switched parts between right and left motor to see if the problem follows the part of stays with the right motor. Still no progress.
I consider to do the following later on today:
- switch airbox
- switch fuse block
- switch damper housing or maybe just the air flow meter

Things I consider:
- switch crankshaft sensor
- switch oil pressure sensors
- switch air temp sensors

Anyone had similar problem or have inputs where to continue?

Radio/Sound issue on Challenger 210

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 15:26:44 +0000

has anyone had the following issue and if so how id you resolve it?

Intermittenly the radio will just stop producing sound. if you ae playing ipod the song/musixc will continue to play, you can tell this adn the numbers continue ti increment. But no sound comes our of any of the speakers. balance fader etc all set correctly. turn radio off, wait, turn radio on and sound will come back at the default settings. (i.e. if you had the volume set at 22 when it does come back on it comes backon at the default setting or 12)

Yes it sound like a short of some kind to the speakers. i have searched low and High with no success.

if anyone has experienced this please share if and how you solved it. or any ideas you all might have on how to solve this.

thanks

Bimini Top Frame, CANVAS / Challenger 210

I have a 2010 Sea-Doo Challenger 210 - Twin 155's with a OEM Bimini top.

Looking to Replace the Bimini Canvas, Cockpit Cover and Bow Cover. Am I on a Wild Goose Chase or do these need to be made custom? There is one tag on the Bimini top Canvas called SURLAST.

Any Suggestions would be great.

I have been getting Prices of 600 just for the Canvas of the Bimini top.

Seems High to me? I am in Stuart, FL

Also does anybody know the Manufacturer of the Bimini top Frame.

Thank you!

2007 230 Challenger SE Gelcoat Color

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 00:12:26 +0000

Hi,

I am trying to identify the color name and code for the navy blue portion of my hull. I have been in touch with BRP, Gelcote International and Spectrum without any luck so far.

Does anyone else have any other resources for identification?

Sea Doo Switch first look: Jet ski/pontoon boat mash-up is a whole new breed

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 13:00:15 +0000

At the recent 2022 Miami Boat Show, our US correspondent Elliott Maurice took the chance to tour the new Sea Doo Switch…

This crossover between a pontoon boat and a jet ski has proved to be a smash hit for Sea Doo – the first year-and-a-half’s production of the Sea Doo Switch sold out before it even launched.

Seeing it in the flesh at this year’s Miami Boat Show, it is immediately apparent why. This is a fun, simple, accessible concept that gets people afloat from as little as $17,999 (£13,700) including trailer.

The tri-toon hull is available in four different lengths (13,16,19 and 21ft) all with the same 7ft 8in beam and all using a Rotax engine and water jet drive with power outputs from 100hp to 230hp and handlebar steering.

The central hull is larger than the two outriggers, allowing the See Doo Switch to heel slightly into turns while retaining the stability of a pontoon boat.

Thanks to closed loop cooling, a shallow draught and simple reverse and brake functions, it’s easy to drive and safe in shallow waters.

The gears are stripped in the throttle handle AND the Shifter/throttle.

Looking for replacement new or used or any suggestions/recommendations for repair or alternatives.

Help on CE marking...??

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 09:20:58 +0000

Hey guys,

I'm a guy from Denmark (europe) that is about to buy my dream boat a SEADOO Speedster 200 - 430 HP...but I got some problems...in Denmark all boats has to be CE approved to be legal...in fact I think all boats in europe has to be CE approved...!! There are not alot of Speedster 200's in Denmark so I'm looking for boats in Sweden (european country next to Denmark) and I've found four Speedster 200's.

I asked two of the sellers if their boats was CE approved but they didn't think that they were CE markt. It sounded as if they didn't knew alot about it, so I asked the 3. seller and he told me that he was pretty sure that every SEADOO Speedster 200 boats was CE approved from the factory and it shows by the HULL number that starts with CExxxxxxxxxxx. He allso sent me a picture of his CE mark in the boat...

CE mark:

His HULL number is: CEC17127A606

He told that many SEADOO Jetski's (scooters) are made some models for the USA market and some models for the European market, but the latest Speedster 200's is made for both markets...does anybody now if that's right...?!

Can any of you tell me if the CE mark in the photo is a valid CE mark for the european market...??

Please take 2mins of your time to help a guy who want's to buy his dream boat, but like it to be legal in europe...!! )

Thaaaanks!!!

Have a good day!! )

No power to 2008 challenger 180 electric bilge pump

Mon, 05 Oct 2020 01:52:40 +0000

My bilge pump died this year. However when i try to install a new one there is no power to the harness. I replaced the burnt fuse at the switch but the automatic and switch mode does not work. I check the boat side of the harness and there is no power. Is there another fuse closer to the battery. The wire going the fuse attached to the kill switch is the same color as the wire going into the harness but the manual sys there is for the stereo memory. I followed some of the wiring back to see if there was an inline diode but I don't want to tear out all the electrical . Anyone have this problem?

Hi, not an owner right at this moment, joined up as I am thinking of buying a non runner, provided the seller comes to his senses a bit on the pricing, It hasn't sold in 2 years and the person storing it for him is starting to get fed up of the thing so just playing the waiting game.

I currently own a mastercraft wetjet 300zx in sunny scotland.

1997 Seadoo Sportster will not start

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 17:43:08 +0000

Hi I am new here and wanted to see if anyone can help. I have a Seadoo Sportster 1997 twine engine version. Both engines started and run with no problem, but now the engines turn but i am not getting a spark at the plugs. I have put new plugs in but no spark. I am thinking there has to be a fuse or something that is the issue but not sure. I took my boat to a local Seadoo dealer who said its water in the fuel. I drained that tank and not one bit of water, and that would not stop a spark at the plug. Therefore lost confidence in the seadoo dealer.

Any help is greatly apricated

1995 Speedster

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 15:28:21 +0000

HI Everyone,

I just picked up a 1995 Speedster in beautiful shape. Both engines have 140-144 compression. Both engines start and idle perfect both on trailer and in water. When in water Port engine will not go over 1500rpm, if I throttle up, it will just die. The starboard engine will reach 6000rpm, but intermittently provides thrust. Changed out rectifiers on both engines. Before I do a carb job all the way around, does anyone have any other thoughts on what I may be experiencing?

Would also add that gas tank drained and cleaned with new fuel, both wear rings and impellers have the correct tolerances, no damage to either impellers and no debris from intake through to jet pump. Grey fuel lines changed out as well.

Hello all - I have noticed at various online parts sites that the 2006 Sportster is listed with Edition 1 and edition 2. How can I determine which edition I have? Is there a serial # separation or some other determining factor? Thanks, Steve

trailer hitch ball

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 11:24:05 +0000

Hi! Hope everybody here is doing well and safe. Anyway, I have not purchased a ball mount kit yet. I would like to ask what size trailer hitch ball I'll be needing. I got an old hitch that I got from 4wheelonline but I have not purchased a ball mount kit yet. I'm about to buy a speedster 200 and I would like to know what size of the ball to get. I'm assuming the speedster has a standard trailer. I'm just not sure though.
