I am new to this site and own an 05 Speedster 200/370hp. Does anyone know how this thing cools. Does it pick up water from the grate or pump or what?? I used to work at a dealer (Powersports ) as a mechanic for many years but this was back in the 2-stroke days. Any help would be great.

Closed loop cooling, with heat exchangers under the boat.

Water is drawn in through the jet pump and dumped in at the top of the exhaust elbow to cool the final part of the exhaust system and muffler. The engine cooling is handled through a tank mounted to the bottom of the hull on each side of the boat. The 200 does not use the ride shoe plate for cooling. The Sportster 4-TEC and Challenger 180 models do use the ride shoe plate for cooling. On the 215 HP engines additional water is distributed to the intercooler as well as the exhaust elbow.

I wouldn't recommend using the pole for that. They can and doo bend.

be very interested in your top speed........

[BigDrap]

I really havent topped it out all the way. Well I have but with a full tank and 4 people on it. I am taking it on vacation now to some island in florida where it is nice and flat. I will top it out with one person on it and a 1/4 tank and see what happens. I expect high 59's low 60's. It did 53.8 on my GPS going through chop with a full tank and 4 people plus I really didnt get a chance to hold it down for long.

We have recorded GPS speeds of just over 61 MPH in a 370 HP Speedster 200. That was in a model with a tower on it, 20 gallons of fuel, and 2 people. You're gonna love it!

[BigDrap]

I deffinetly love it. Accelerates and runs like a champ. My brother and I have had many high performance skies so we needed a similar feeling in a boat. I am just really in to tubing and wonder where I can hook the tube up to???

DOO you (or any member with similar boat) have any test results (GPS) That you have to report on the 2004 200 310hp boat? My speedometer continues to read about 49-51 mph with about 5 hours on boat.
Thanks

53 here. The boat goes faster after breaking it in. Go out by yourself on a calm day with a quarter tank of gas. Cruise with the wind and keep the top down. lol

I've only got 6 hours or so on mine and it is already my favorite Sea-Doo! I went from a 97 Speedster to a '03 Sportster and now the S200 (155). What a nice boat! The S200 has all of the fun of my old 97 (twin 720's) with room for the family and a friend or two! I am still babying mine, but will break out the GPS after a couple of more hours on the boat.

Hey guys, what type of coolant do I use on the S200 SC... Just regular coolant or what?????

[thumper]

RUSSEL POWERBOATS IN TH UK HAVE RECORDED oops 66mph on a 370 speedster, it was brand new so i assume very littel - less than 5 hours

[keviseeb]

We recorded 54.8 MPH averaged speed on a 2004 310 HP in smooth water, 1/4 tank of fuel, and 2 people.

As far as coolant is concerned use regular automotive 50-50 mixture green antifreeze if you want to stay with the stock type used.
