    Adding Wake-tower speakers to 203VRX

    I believe they are hooked up. I also had to add another RCA cable from the medallion to the black box in order to get it to work. If you do a search on my past posts, I believe I have talked about this.

    I'd start with a Scarab dealer followed by SeaDoo. They can cross reference.

    Attached are your fault codes. The O2 sensors are notorious for faulting. On the new engines they remove the Cats and (I believe) the sensors. mine are currently faulting but does not hurt anything. There is a FB page that has a lot of great info on just about everything with Chaparral Boat...

    Engines will not fire -- U0300 Fault Codes (FIX)

    Changing plugs, oil and oil filter is always the best option if you don't know when it was done last. If you have a shop do it make sure they reset the hour counters. I've had the same error message and and followed Micha's instruction. It worked great! No issues. Final note: Make sure your...

    Recent Rotax engine service on a Chaparral Vortex?

    Agree 100%. Use FB ONLY for the groups. Anyone with a Chap Vortex should be in that group. Tons of wonderful advice and tips that will ensure you're a good time on the water. Highly recommend joining (even if it's only to join this group). Good luck!

    One picture of your last outing.

    Glad to see the water is still blue. Haven't been there in years but I know how rough it can get. Thanks for the pics.

    (GR) WiFi Controlled Boat lift

    Below is a picture of a DIY cable made by Alpha Wire, Pt. No. K-6pin, I purchased from GR for $30 shipped. This cable caused me lots of grief as the male pins are too short and the area where the wire connects to the internal crimps are not reliable and could come loose.

    Chaparral 243 VRX review from a Yamaha owner

    I have a late production model 2017 223VRX so I have the 2018 options. Cosmetically the same but the superchargers were designed with the "eliminating" maintenance every 200 hours. The cats will be black compared to the older grey color. I too came from Yamaha and I love this boat. I've owned...

    Correct. You must have auto-stop otherwise you'll have a disaster on your hands.

    (GR) WiFi Controlled Boat lift

    I've been waiting for years to make the Gem Remote WiFi accessible. Sucks having to wait for the lift to lower; seems like it takes forever. I FINALLY got it to work!!! I'm now able to remotely lower, stop and raise the lift from anywhere. The route I took does not break warranties as I...

    Adding Wake-tower speakers to 203VRX

    All the speaker wires hook up to a "controller" located under the glove box (in my 2017 VRX223). I tapped into that and ran the wire to the amp.

    Got all my stuff at Creative Audio. Sometimes they have great deals on refurbished items (that's what I got).
