What has broke on your boat?

I have the 2011 210 SP and I know I am a hard user, crossing the 30 mile channel in my boat to go fishing (spearfishing).

Here is a list of things that I have broke by 35 hours (just over a month of ownership):

Windshield Magnet "Bumper"- The magnet that holds the windshield in the open position came off. I attached it with some marine silicone.

Wind Door "Brace"- The brace that holds the wind door closed bent to heck after taking a 10' breaking wave in a bad storm. Now it does not close easily.

Exhaust Strap- While cleaning my boat, I saw a strap on the floor. Upon inspection, I noticed it was broken and the other half was missing. I found the other half and I am waiting to receive the $10 replacement. This strap is located on a large silver tube at the back of the engine compartment.

Rivet- A rivet has broken off from something and I found the backing. Now I am just waiting for something on the inside of my boat to fall off so I can figure out what it belongs to.

Mysterious Yellow Cap- Also, while cleaning the engine compartment, I found a very small yellow "cap" that was smaller than a dime. I will take a picture of it. The piece looks more like a small flat circle piece of plastic with a raised straight line on top.

Our biggest issue (annoyance) has been that our tower speakers go in and out, has to be a loose connection in there because I can move the wires and they start working for a little while. But as soon as we hit some chop they go out again.

We also have an issue with our "SET" button not working from time to time, again this appears to be a wiring issue as I can jiggle the wires around and it will start working again too.

We also have the issue that our check engine light will come on from time to time, but it will go off quickly. I have been told that this is a computer glitch and that SeaDoo is working on a fix for this in the 210 Challenger.

After a full 2.5 hous of operation the only thing that is not quite right is that I have a perma smile.

Only annoying thing is very very poor radio reception. Need to have a look and see if the antennea is disconnected.

I have the same issues:
1) Perma Smile.
2) Poor radio reception. I am looking at adding an antenna for the marine radio, it might be able to double as a FM antenna.

The check engine comes on and off on mine too.

Here's my checklist of issues to be brought up during my 10 hour service. So far I have 6 hours on both engines:

-Bow cockpit door snap / black fabric holder is torn.
-Radio Speakers cut in and out / one side. (Loose connection) as well as horrible reception.
-Front (bow) courtesy light - does not come on all the time.
-Check engine light. (Does not stay on) (Random x3 times)
-Low oil pressure message (once @ 5 hours) - shut off engines. Did not occur again @ restart.
-Boat tends to pull to left - looks like more wake / spray occurs on port engine - not sure if weed sucked up from walk though bent impeller, damaged wear ring, etc.
-Occasionally stern engine (#2) would drop to 0 RPM during "sync", but would jump back after a second. (Happened 3x times)

The captain chair forward/backward lever knob keeps falling off.

The bow storage on the port had the knob that keeps it closed come off, looks like it was caused by a passenger not opening the compartment with the pull strap.

The bow light went out on mine too, I ki dj ed the boat and it turned back on.

I just got.net he low oil message and it went away.

I am almost at 50 hours on each engine already, I have only had my boat for 3 months.
