New to the website, introduce yourself here so everyone can welcome you to the website?

Hi I'm Raed, 42 male from Bahrain in the Middle East, close to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. I just got a Seadoo 23 Wake 510 HP. I driven it for about 5 to 6 hours at low RPM between 3000 and 5000. Recently a friend took it out for a ride and drove at at maximum speed. Today one engine is stalling and wont go beyong 2800 RPM. It beeps when I increase the speed. Can anyone please give me their advice? Or is it back to the dealer for me. Thanks.

welcome to the site; I would first check to see if he just fould a plug; if that is not it and you say you just got it then you should have a warranty and i would say just let the dealer worry about it

hello Raed! I AM MARIO 1967 BIRTH FROM THESSALONIKI GREECE! I HAVE JUST COMPLETE MY BREAKING PERIOD FOR MY CHALLENGER 180SE 215 HP.
YOU WILL NEED 10 HOURS WITH 3/4 MAX THROTTLE AND NOT FULL SPEED.AFTER THE FIRST 10 HOURS & OIL& FILTER CHANGE TRY IT WITH FULL THROTTLE.I HAVE READ THAT THE ENGINE GOES TO A SAFE MODE TO RETURN WITH IDLE BACK TO HOME &TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM FAILURE.MAYBE ONE OF YOUR ENGINES GOES TO A SAFE MODE FROM OVERHEATING!TRY TO FLUSH WITH FRESH WATER THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON TRAILER AND PUTTING THE REVERSE OR FORWARD FOR 20 SECONDS WITH 4500RPM . MAY DEBRIS HAVE BLOCKED THE ONE EXHAUST INLET HOSE COOLING SYSTEM. ANY DASH LIGHT ON DURING THE BEEPS OR ANY FAULT CODE APPEARS ON LCD INFO CENTER? ALSO FOR YOUR COUNTRY YOU MUST USE SUPER UNLEADED FUEL LIKE IN MY COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THE SUMMER HIGHER TEMPERATURES!KEEP US INFORM IF YOU CAN FINALLY FOUND WHAT HAPPEND TO YOUR ENGINE!

I've owned a 180se for two years now. It was my 40th birthday present from my wife, but it has turned out to be a pain in the rear. I replaced my impeller last week after having it at a dealer several times trying to figure out why I was burning fuel like a tank (8 gallons per hour) and couldn't have more than 3 adults in the boat and cruise at more than 15 knots. I had the old impeller out twice, but it looked fine, just a little damage to the leading edge and a slight angle change on the trailing edge from a pebble. Filed it clean, pounded it back and put it back in ...still no luck. I put a new OEM one in and it fixed the problem for exactly 2hrs. I picked up some weeds and bang....back to traveling at 10 knots. When I hit the throttle it just hyper revs without any velocity change??????NO visible damage to the impeller, but I haven't pulled it out yet (just looked in the intake and jet)

I've ordered a Solas 14/19 stainless impeller for it hoping it will solve the problem, but if anyone has any info on this I would love to hear from you. I'm ready to sell..cheap!

sorry about all the problems that you have been having but welcome to the site hopefully you can figure out what is wrong by searching through some of the threads here

Greetings earthlings,
I just purchased a 150 Speedster with the 215 hp engine. I think I may have to take it back, as I'm not finding it as fun as I thought, since the instructions and warning labels on the boat say not to jump waves or wakes. I used to love to jump wakes and waves in my old Wahoo boat.

[230WakeOwnerinDallas]

Just bought a brand new 2008 230 Wake. Spent all weekend breaking it in...tons of fun but a couple of minor issues I had questions about and figured this would be the best place to get answers.

Own two Seadoo PWC 1994 GTX 3-Seaters w/580cc engines (love them, Seadoo is a great product). Trying to pull jet pump on one without damaging it. No luck, from web chat looks like it should just pull straight out. I have the CD Manual and have reviewed it and web notes. Need to pull it and replace wear ring and damaged impeller, any help/notes? Can not pull housing, have not undone any internal hoses or lines under seat. Looks like I should?

First boat purchase, 2006 Sportster 215HP .
Getting it in 2 days.
This forum seems like a great source of information.
I'm sure I'll have questions as time goes by. Until then, I'll just look.
