In Topic: Challenger 180 Real World Top Speed?
28 June 2011 - 02:22 PM
I have a 2005 Challenger 180 (215hp), and depending on the impeller, it runs 45-48 consistently. With the stock SeaDoo impeller, it holds at 45 on glass or small chop. With the Solas Concord I had in it before, it topped at 48, but I had cavitation at launch. These speeds are from the Garmin GPS mounted in the boat.

RFoster,
Thanks for your reply. I pumped out as much gas as I could yesterday. Those cheap hand pumps really leak! I still smell like gasoline. I will fill up the boat today and take it out. I'm going to add some fuel injector cleaner to it as well, I figure it shouldn't hurt.

In Topic: 12V Power Outlet
28 June 2011 - 02:13 PM
I had the same problem on my boat.
The power for the outlet comes from one of the round plugs on the driver's side module. I could not manage to find out who makes the plug to get replacement pins, so I ran my own wiring back to a fuse panel I installed near the battery.
Later on, the wire for my bilge blower also broke, so I ran a new power wire from the new fuse panel up to the switch in the dash. Eventually, I won't need that module any more!
