Start your Engines

Top speed is 58 (boat GSP) or 60 (Garmin GSP). With all this said, should I even worry about it?

No worries. What-so-ever. That is one bad a$$ Chaparral, and I wouldn't change a thing other than maybe look into the battery charging situation.

Let's keep in mind @Dean P is running a BRP powerplant and pump so no major changes in 2019, IIRC (the 2019 new pumps are introduced in Yamaha lineup).

WOW I totally missed the make sorry! in that case the impeller is easy to change and the pumps have replaceable liners and you probably have a throttle body sensor or M E P M issue . And most definitely inspect the ground wires at the engine as I always had issues with the sea doo ground wires and it's a sea doo inside.

@swatski I purchase the same battery backup and NOCO plug as you. Where did you install/mount your plug?

 

[Dean P]

NVM...found it.

You will love the comfort and convenience of an onboard charger!

Update--I hooked up the 2-bank charger to the batteries. This thing is awesome! Both engines start right up; no hesitation. @swatski Thank you!
Now, I need to hook-up the Can-doo to erase the error codes.

Update: I hooked up the Candoo and erased all error codes. But, the e-reverse module error came back. Also got the error code saying the battery had low voltage. Today I installed 2 new batteries and charged them.

I check the fuse (one with the black lever by the battery switch) and it was good. The boat starts fine but the e-reverse code will not allow the buckets to move.

Is there something else I could check or suggestions I could try?

Ok, let me see if I can help.
1. Check your IST module for any blockage or open connections.
2. Check your reverse bucket for blockage. Disconnect it from the cable to make sure. Its a 10MM I believe.
3. Check all your fuses (on the back of the boat hull). The ones by the battery switch are circuit breakers.

@ScarabMike Thank you! I'll check these tonight.

I checked all these and all appear fine; no blown fuses, connections to the iST (iNR) intact (nothing touching the unit) and the bucket moves freely. Below are the current error codes and the 2 connections leading into the unit. Do you see anything?

I checked the fuses and breakers and all were good. Last night I tugged on wires from fuses and breakers and found a wire not (see blue arrow) connected to anything. Connected it to the battery and like magic it worked. Test everything Thursday night. Taking the boat to downtown St Pete for Sushi.



@ScarabMike Thank you!

@ScarabMike Thank you!

Glad you got her right!! Those connections always get me too. Enjoy the sushi!
