2009 Challenger with 255 engine.  Does it have a fuel filter?  The parts catalogs do not show one.

Boat sat over winter, or what passes for winter in South Texas.   Was "winterized"  tank full with stabilizer in it.   First outing idle was fine low speed was ok, but no full throtle.  Let it idle for an extended period and it started running fine.  After 15 to 20 minutes like nothing was wrong.  Figured the fuel was the problem.   Is there a in line filter/water seperator, if so where.  If not where would be a good place to install?

 

Guess the second part of question is should it be stored full of fuel or not.  Always figured full with stabilizer would minimize the chances of water  / condensation. 

my battery charger / maintainer failed and boiled the battery.  In the market for a new battery and a charger  / maintainer.     I don't pull the battery out - should I?  It wouldn't have made a difference since the charger failed to go from charge to maintain.

I have been searching for a shop manual for my 2009 Challenger 180 SE. My dealer said they have no listing for a manual. The SeaDoo parts website says not available. I emailed SeaDoo and got a generic - contact your dealer. Anyone had any luck. The tech I deal with at the dealer said the 08 is too different to be of any use. Thought maybe the 08 manual had an update to cover the 09, but no one is sure.
