    Sea Doo Switch 21 Cruise purchase dilemma

    The nice thing about the older boat is that you can get service on your terms. Notice the warranty says nothing about how quickly they will get you back on the water. The Switch has been out a little while...see what the older switches are going for. My fear with newish boats is how poor the...

    Mystery power drain

    So I think i understand what's going on... The buzzer was consuming the power but the led was not... Between the bilge pump and the relay coil, and the fact I was switching the relay on a ground path, it seems power was traveling across the bilge pump and relay coils while everything was...

    New to me SX230

    65,536 is a power of 2. The bits are full. Must add up all the time to get real engine time. You reached the 99999 of old odometers. And you reached it on one of the ranges too... I think you might need another mechanism to measure true hours going forward, if you wanted an accurate measure...

    Mystery power drain

    The strangest thing is that the led is not illuminated, but disconnecting the buzzer removes the load. I can't tell where the ground is coming from. I'll investigate again next weekend hopefully and learn a little more.

    2004 SX230 Jet Pump coupler slop

    Interesting. Any chicken with the amount of play and engagement required on the pump side? Too far in and there won't be enough spline to go into the intermediate shaft, right?

    Weirdly there is also an LED/lamp that does not illuminate except when the float is triggered. Something must not be what it seems. I thought at first the relay might be bad so I replaced it, but identical behavior after replacement.

    Coil type. The draw disappears when i disconnect the alarm. I have no clue how it's drawing if the float switch is off but it is. I will hopefully get a chance to troubleshoot more next week.

    Mystery power drain

    I made an investing discovery today but i have not yet entirely figured it out, and I ran out of time. I thought it was this added relay since the drain disappeared when I removed the ground from the relay. Strangely it also disappears when the ground is removed from the bilge alarm beeper...

    2004 SX230 Jet Pump coupler slop

    What did you actually do to fix the couplers? The gap looks good. Did you move the engine to close the gap? Adjust shims? Thanks!

    Clean out fitting failure

    That looks functional which is a huge deal! Now for the $25,000 question... What does the clean out plug think about it?

    I made my own "Lucky 13" style pump cones...

    How awesome!!!! That's pretty cool. Looking forward to your updates on how they work.

    AR230HO 9000rpm

    Did the engine hit 10,000 rpm on this impeller last year? If not I would suggest put the old one back and recheck. There is a possibility you have a compression and/or valve issue, but there's plenty to check before going down that rabbit hole.

    Sorry... Extra zero... Jumps to 0.16 for a few seconds, then down to .03. I corrected it above also. Thanks!

    Mystery power drain

    Thanks. The radio Is fully switched, so when the dash switch cuts power to it, off there should be no drain possible, but I'll keep checking. I did notice as soon as you provide current the current jumps to. 16 and after a few seconds it drops to .03, so as if the ECU or something else wakes up...

    I think I'll do it for fun in the winter. It's 30ma, after 2 or 3 weeks the difference to the other battery is apparent. I'll need to use the master switch as I m supposed to. Thanks,!

    Mystery power drain

    But if everything is powered off, no radio memory drain... Where is it going? It should be zero. (And was for a long time)

    Mystery power drain

    That is correct. Seems to work out to one amp/hour every 33 hours.

    Mystery power drain

    Yes, to clarify, no usb charger is on the boat now.

    Mystery power drain

    No accessories plugged it. Including USB port. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thanks. I expect I'll continue to attack over the fall and winter as weather improves.
