    Replace stuff on Scarab blog (extended version).

    Shouldn't be scratching anything when removing the old mat. I noticed a razor in your pic above and it made me cringe. I removed the factory traction mat on our boat last year when we installed a new Seadek Kit. I didn't scratch a thing when removing the old mats/glue. The key was to place...

    Rotax engine substitute oil filter ?

    I've always gone with the OEM filters in our BRP. If you do change the filter brand, be sure to get the 3 O-rings that you'll need for the oil filter change. I normally get the oil change kit for about $75. Comes with everything you need plus spark plugs (except for the O-ring that goes under...

    Drain plug led Diablo Royal ??

    That'll work. Just shine a light in the engine compartment and make sure you can see the backside of that area.

    Topcoat F11

    Reviews I've read seem good, but no one has been able to confirm how long it lasts.

    Deceitful Dealer Tactics

    I think the asking price ($44K) is high considering the only 2 2014 212Xs I could find are both in the$38-39K range.

    Be Careful Folks!

    Nope. She was on a completely different row of pumps according to the man who was attacked. She also fled the scene after he took her down when she was assaulting him. I'm fairly certain the video cameras at the gas station would have caught him provoking her if that was the case. This woman was...

    What color underwater led lights? (Now with installation details)

    As someone mentioned above, the line coming off the light is roughly 6" in length. I went with a switch in addition to the remote. I mounted the switch to the backside of the battery switch cover as this was protected from the elements and would prevent people from inadvertently hitting the...

    What you guys think? Roller, bunk or posts?

    We added trailer guide poles last year after our boat was blown off course during the approach and wound up going over the metal "End of ramp" sign that sits a few feet from the trailer. A huge gust came in as I was idling to the trailer. As soon as I was a few feet away, I got blown into the...

    LED Courtesy Light replacement

    I used these and they worked fine. Keep in mind they are directional, so if they don't work when you first plug them in, then you just need to flip them over. https://www.amazon.com/iJDMTOY-12-SMD-DE3175-DE3022-Interior/dp/B008GGH9IQ This site has a bulb finder as well...

    3rd Shredded Alternator Belt - Islandia

    This is more than likely the culprit. Does the OP noticed black dust all over the place? That's usually a sign of the belt wearing abnormally. Using a straight edge to check alignment is the right idea. If the bearings are going, that could also put excessive drag on the system and allow for the...

    2012 Sea Doo Challenger Single Engine iTC Ski Mode

    Our 2012 210 SE has it, and she's a twin engined boat.

    The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

    I want to do this to my anchor locker as well. My only question is how did you screw the mount to the underside of the anchor locker door? The glass isn't very thick there and I was worried about going through the finished side. Did you use screws and some sort of epoxy or just some small screws...

    Yamaha AR195 vs. Scarab 195 HO Impulse

    Not knowing much about the Yamaha or Scarab 195, but owning a Sea Doo Challenger, I have a few questions that would help me if the decision were mine to make: Some items I believe are standard on the Scarab and not an option on the Yamaha: Push button start (I know my buddy's 165 has it, hell...

    It's been a long....and expensive winter (lots of pics!)

    With the grill over the swim platform, do you have to worry about any grease dripping on anything or is it all contained?

    Boat music

    We mostly listen to the Sublime channel on Pandora. Some of my favorite bands from the channel: Stick Figure, Dirty Heads, Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid, Tribal Seeds, The Expendable, Soja, and of course Sublime. Great music if you like Ska/Rock/Reggae.

    Trailer wheel bearing grease

    I just did my bearings a few weeks back and I used Lubrimatic Marine Grease. Several trailer shops locally recommended it. Keep in mind when you grease your hubs, you should have the wheel off the ground so you can spin the wheel as you pump the grease in to evenly distribute the new grease to...

    Any ideas? <fixing mark or wrap boat>

    I agree with the buffing. Always start with the least abrasive repair. I'd try a few passes with some mild polish on that blemish. If the color doesn't come back, then maybe some compound or a more aggressive pad with the medium polish. I've seen some pretty chalky boats restored with some...

    What color underwater led lights? (Now with installation details)

    I was thinking about how much water they'll see when on plane. Mine sees very little. This is the best pic I could find to show what I'm talking about. If the lights are on top of the tab, then they may get very little water spray to keep em cool.

    What color underwater led lights? (Now with installation details)

    Curious to see how they look when she's in the water. I know when I call the company they stated not to run the light out of the water for more than a few seconds. Ours is mounted 1" above the drain plug (3" from bottom of hull) and when up on plane the light is no longer below the waterline. As...

    Blocking

    Didn't know it was a hole repair as you never mentioned it in your post. My wet sanding reference was in response to your "blending" comment. Not trying to be a jerk, but I was simply trying to help you out based on the info your provided. You shouldn't have had to blend a thing if you went with...
