Macatawa

Last fall I was fogging the engine when the tiny straw fell off and down into the middle injector inlet port. Now the question? what is going to be the best way to get it out? I can faintly see the reflection of it down in there, but is is going to take a tiny extractor or the manifold is going to have to come off I guess.

Any advise?


Thanks,
I do love the boat and can't wait for this long winter in Michigan to be over!

I just turned 9 hrs on the boat and have some observations of it, first off is the ride, it's really quite good for its size. I keep my boat at my Dad's place on an inland lake in West Michigan that empties into Lake Michigan, so the Big Lake is usually the destination. The ride on the big lake is quite good given the usual moderate chop and boat wake you get. I don't know the difference between the 08 & 09 other that what I see is a deeper vee with flatter tines that give a nice stable ride. Overall I'm impressed with the boat; the fit and finish, upholstery and ergonomics our the best in class. The performance is also good with he 215.
So far so good!

I just purchased a new Riviera Blue Challenger 180 SE (215hp) last week and I asked the dealer about the washers as I was getting my orientation on the boat; the dealer said I did not need to worry about ceramic washer clutches in the boat because Sea Doo has change to Steel Washers on the 2008 and forward on the SCIC motors. I was also reading at another site that this was the case; I just want to confirm that this is the case.
I do plan to change the oil at 10 hrs with Seadoo syn blend that I purchased at the dealer as well as the 100 hr service on the washers. I have been kind of spoiled the the 4 tec because my 2002 GTX limited has been maintenance free except for oil changes and new plugs last year; it only has about 90 hrs on it.
