As far as I know the super chargers get serviced at 100 hours. But check with a dealer to confirm. And I know its not cheep. Thats one of the reasons I got a seadoo with no superchargers.

yep its true AND if you don't have the metal washers in there I would change them ASAP.  It will cost about $300 or so.  Its not too bad. Jerry @ Greenhulk offers the service, you remove your charger yourself ( a few bolts ), send it in and he will rebuild it.  He is top notch and only replaces parts that are needed.

I have a 2012 210 wake with a supercharger does anyone know when I need to service it?

Any dealer that says any washer from any year needs to be replaced at 60 hours is simply lying. The fact is there was NEVER a published service interval for the generation 1 or 2 ceramic washers. The only exception if that dealer check the torque value and it was below specs. Although its rare a lot of wave jumping without practicing throttle management or running dirty oil could easily reduce the life of any washer including the generation 4 moly washers. The 2012 boats have the moly coated steel washer which has a 200 hour service interval. It is tracked by the ECU unlike earlier model boats which are not. Regardless of how many hours you have on the engine the torque value of the nut on the shaft containing the washers varies a little based on the type of washer but is typically 70 in/lbs. WAKE model boats are usually a little harder on any type washer because of the constant acceleration and de-acceleration. Having said that remember that the major cause of washer failures is lack of throttle management in high rpm situations and dirty oil. The washers are bathed in engine oil so please change oil every 50 hours or yearly at the least. It is critical to use an oil designed for wet clutches. The cost is another matter, the rebuild kit itself retails for $332.00 plus tax. Sea Doo does NOT offer the washers by themselves consequently our average bill to a customer is $550.00 to $600.00 for a rebuild. The only good news is that ALL parts are replaced whether it needs it or not. The Greenhulk option is a good one if you just need the washers.
