Hello Beprepared. Welcome to this forum. I just bought an 04 Sportster and have posted several questions on here and haven't received a single response yet.
I don't know a lot about these boats. I own several Jet Skis and ran river boats for many years, so I'm familiar with the basic principle of jets(having knocked several off and torn up my share in the river).
You definately need a grate over your intake. You could suck up something big enough to really do some damage without one.
Mine has three knobs on the left dash. The top one is the front and rear lights(navigate and anchor).
Down and to the left is the Bilge Pump. To the right of that is the blower(for clearing gas fumes from the engine compartment).
As far as the acceleration, I'm having some issues myself. If your impeller and liner are worn or are not fitting properly, it will "spin out" so to speak when accelerated hard. Then you have to take off easy.
I just changed the plugs and fuel filter in mine and am about to go try it out in a few minutes. Mine doesn't seem to have an inbetween with the throttle. Its either idling or wide open.
