    243VRX won’t start

    I used to keep it at a high and dry on the Anclote river but now on a trailer as building a house in tarpon springs where I’ll be able to store it. Now I need to splurge and get the saltwater trailer.

    243VRX won’t start

    I’m in Tampa bay. Usually go out to Anclote but this summer I brought the boat to North Carolina as I have a cabin up there and the boat had lots of freshwater run time.

    243VRX won’t start

    Yes and no. I basically opened the hatch by the battery and made sure all the fuses were pressed in, checked all the wiring and it fired up. Went to take it out last weekend and again it would not start. Repeated the same check and then it started. Not sure what I’m touching that’s making it...

    243VRX won’t start

    Hey all, hope someone can help me. Had my boat at the lake all summer and ran great. Drove it back to Florida and sat for 5 weeks. Tried to take it out last weekend and flat out won’t start or even turn over, tried with each battery. Batteries appear charged and when I pull the kill switch that...

    2015 Chaparral 243 Vortex VRX twin 250's

    It does, on the main home screen, click on the fuel level, this will show you basic info like hours, current fuel economy, top speed and total miles, etc.

    2015 Chaparral 243 Vortex VRX twin 250's

    How many hours on the engines now? I’m assuming it’s due for the first service.

    Does anyone use the newer explorers to tow a 24ft jetboat

    My .02, had a 2016 explorer with the eco boost 3.5. It did okay hauling my 24’ chap but struggled on the hills in North Carolina. Purchased a grand Cherokee Hemi and noticibe difference, but not so much in fuel economy running at 70 to 75, but there was a fee mpg difference around 40 to 50mph

    rotax error 2245

    I was told per chaparral corporate not to operate the boat for an extended period of time with these error codes. I'm not willing to void the warranty.

    rotax error 2245

    I am currently suing over this issue. Happened at 38 hours and they replaced both assemblies, fully, and then it happened to me again and the boat has now 71 hours on it. I was told I needed to have the full assemblies replaced again! The dealer then tells me they just cleaned the sensors and...

First time they replaced the entire assemblies, I just got it back after being in the shop for 7 weeks, took it out last night and within 25 minutes the codes were back. I've...

    This is the second time in 9 months that I've had to pull the boat for weeks at a time when they should have corrected it with the newly replaced exhaust system.

    Update from my dealer. It appears chap is telling the dealer that I once again need two new exhaust assemblies. The originals were replaced in November and now again 9 months later. Can we say lemon??

    Well, my boat is back in the shop! Same error codes pointing to the o2 sensors. The entire assembly was replaced (both engines) in November and here we go again. So disappointed

    2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee good tow vehicle?

    I just purchased a 17' grand Cherokee overland with the hemi preparing for my 600 mile journey to North Carolina for the eclipse. Had the explorer ecoboost v6 that was rated for 5000 pounds. It was getting 10mpg so I'm hoping the Cherokee can get me better mileage!

    I was asked if mine pulled when it was in for repairs, appears to be common but I was not told how to fix it. Sorry
