arboldt,

I used my method last year and it worked fine, had a good winterization. I will use the same method this year.
Regarding the anti-freeze, I used something that was labeled low toxicity, but I did specifically see that it was for RV's.

I would think that it does not matter what you use and long as it has enough low temp rating for the region you live in.

Brad,

I also have a 2011 150 Speedster and love it. I have the snap in carpet option and like that alot. Soft on the feet, pevents slipping, doesn't get hot, dampens some noise and can be removed to clean the carpet and the deck below it. I am sure that Hydro-Turf is a good product, but I just have never trusted pressure sensitive adhesives to last years and years and years, especially in hot and wet situations.

You mentioned that you had the 1.5 liter engine, they all come with that base engine, the question is whether or not it is naturally aspirated or if it's the optional High Output supercharged and intercooled engine. Having said that, I do not really know much about the top speed of either engine.

Good luck with the boat. Also, call your dealer and make sure your boat was not one that was affected by the recall from BRP to change out the Throttle Gear Shift Assembly. I have a post about that in the Speedster 150 section of the forum.

Luke,

Also, read this thread of mine.

Main thing, do not run the boat for a long time out of the water when flushing, it is not necessary and you can ruin the impeller bushing which is not cooled.

Regarding "intake protection": It must be an interesting problem for the SeaDoo engineers working with a jet pump system. How small can you make the "gaps" in a intake grate before you either impede water flow or cause a disruption in the water flow that would lead to early cavitation problems?

I don't know the answers, but I wonder if the engineers have looked at the problem and if trying to make "small gaps" in the intake grate, small enough to prevent small wood chips from being sucked in, causes performance problems?

Kevin, do you know if this has been tested from an engineering standpoint at SeaDoo?

Gordon

Good luck with the new boat!!

Questions, 1. What color? 2. Did your dealer hook you up with the extended warranty offer BRP has right now, an extra 3 years?
