Well after a year of looking I finally purchased a new left over 2011 230SE HO. This thing is a blast to run. I am very excited!! Today was the first day out and while looking things over I have noticed several of my cushions have the dreaded pink spots bleeding through!!!! I had this happen on my last boat and on several of my friends boats. Have any of you had this problem with your Sea-Doo's? If so did BRP come good to replace the cushions. The boat now has 2 hours on it and this is driving me crazy....
Other than the pink spots the boat is a lot of fun. I need to adjust the neutral position because it continues to move forward while in neutral and this was a little un-nerving this morning at the dock. Also my steering seems to be messed up. If I hold the wheel straight under power the boat goes to the port. I need to keep the wheel at least 90 degrees to the starboard to keep the boat going straight. The dealer tried to adjust this after we took it out for the test ride before I purchased it. They thought they had corrected it but it is not... Is there anything that I can measure?? Thank you for the help!
Brian

HI Brian,
I don't have any spots but I did adjust my neutral gate setting. I posted the procedure and pics in http://seadoosportbo...10hp-pet-peeve/.
The part about going to port says to me that there is a difference in thrust between the engines or steering. Could be that only one engine is running
or starboard one is running faster than the port or the cable is not set correctly to the wheel position. Course, the 2011 with the fly by wire, I think, is possibly a bit different with the computer. I don't know about that yet. Could be something in the intake or on the impeller, or a bad impeller also. The dealer should fix that.
I had the port supercharger die after 60 hours and the boat constantly pulled to the port side when under power and I had to counter steer to go straight. At full throttle, the port tach would only go to 6500 RPM while the starboard would sit at 8000 RPM. That is a sign a supercharger has gone bad.
