    RIVA racing Exhaust Video inside!!!!

    Yeah. That was a tame one. Had the drone controls sitting right next to me. Didn’t want it to go flying off the boat.

    RIVA racing Exhaust Video inside!!!!

    Not the best sound quality but I hope you get the idea. It has a throaty sound to it now, motorcycle esk. Definitely more responsive and better top end.

    Riva Exhaust upgrade

    I will take some photos for you. So me video too. Riva only sells the water box which obviously are for a Sea Doo. They make no claims of performance or fitment. This is a complete retro fit. In no way is it a direct replacement... with that disclaimer.... the install was fairly...

    Riva Exhaust upgrade

    I’m going to test a theory. There’s an inlet and outlet cap with the cat sandwiched between. They have 8 H6 bolts holding them together on each side. I am thinking I can just remove the center(cat) and put the two ends together. The sea doo’s do not cats from what I am told. As far as I know...

    Riva Exhaust upgrade

    So, I had an issue with my exhaust silencer box(resonator) getting heated up and leaking as well as corrosion on one water box. I order two Water boxes from Riva, removed the silencers and man.. The stock exhaust must be so restrictive. Its been down on power (thinking wear ring issues from the...

    215HO Motor issues

    Started the process of the Riva upgrade. Ever wonder what the catilitic converter looks like on these boats? It’s surrounded by three water ports for cooling. So salt water guys... flush flush flush!!

    215HO Motor issues

    The owner of the dealership, the technician, and the service advisor all called it a silencer. Could be a muffler, resonator, noise cancellation device, boat quieter downer.... nonetheless it was leaking. I bypassed them and the boat has a little more power. And it sounds good.

    215HO Motor issues

    The silencer is between the waterbox and the exit point at the rear of the boat above the pumps. They are tucked away in the back corner in my boat 215 HO My new water boxes should come today or tomorrow. Might have to get some video of what they sound like. Yes, I use PB blaster anti...

    215HO Motor issues

    So there were a few items not covered under warranty. The silencer had a leak(not covered) so the labor to fix that. Some other misc labor and 100hr service. Never said 700 though. And yes, it obviously was a clogged pump that heated everything up. As for the bilge, Port motor had a leaking...

    215HO Motor issues

    Hello all, I have been having some major issues with my boat. As you know it has twin 200hp motors. Well one started have some issues. Turns out the exhaust sensors were shot and one was running in limp mode. It must have sucked something up and stopped water from cooling down the exhaust. Not...

    Sucked up rocks

    I agree, the shaft guard does nothing... theres about two inches of the actually shaft exposed at impeller. I did it twice in two days... the first was not watching or caring thinking this "feature" was a benefit. Second was my woman getting frustrated and me taking over but nobody had the rope...

    New-B Scarab owner

    Hello guys/gals, Just purchased a 2015 215HO. So far I am loving it. Getting used to its dock maneuverability, it needs a second anchor and some bass(sound system not fish);) Otherwise, great boat thus far.
