    Help with 2018 210 stereo upgrade

    Sorry - I haven't checked back in a bit; I also have a little noise so I am curious on what you did. Since I last posted, I replaced my MB Quartz amp that powered the main speakers with a JL Audio amp since the MB seemed to lose a couple of channels but I think it is just a touchy switch. Buy...

    Repower 2004 AR210 with MR-1 HO's

    I haven't been on for some time and I come back and find the greatest post ever! Unreal and incredible work - what do you do for a living? Engineer? It does seem like a lot of work for only a slight bit of increase in power but thats not why you do things like this. Would putting some...

    Strbd Engine Comm, Port low max WOT-engine rattling

    2012, could have swollen pump housing assembly. The part that surrounds the impeller and this is very common with age. I would just check that you don't have any bad wear spots or even holes on the impeller housing. There is a specified clearance in the service manuals but I don't know that...

    LX210 Ignition Problem

    Sorry - cant be of any help here. You sound like an electrical engineer so I am sure you are covering all bases but include in your troubleshooting the cleanout tray safety switches.

    Started engine on LS2000 and it went to WOT and wouldn't kill with any of the switches

    Sounds like you have an air leak and with the carb racks being taken off you will want to make sure new gaskets were used. If you have the high rpm’s again, try pulling the choke out. If that causes the Rpms to go down, you can be sure the engine is running lean due to an air leak If your...

    Add-on Volume Control

    The volume on my 2018 AR210 OEM head unit is an up/down toggle that you have to press or hold down forever to adjust the volume. Has anyone added an aftermarket volume contol (remote) to the OEM head unit? Any ideas? I am thinking I could add a rotary dial somewhere between the factory head...

    How many hours are you at? And, any major issues up to this point?

    2018 AR210, about 80 hours; Loose handrails that I tightened back up, 2x broken rear ladder strap (rubber), plastic piece on windshield end cracked off (haven't fixed or found how to get a replacement), sound insulation coming unglued (used 3m spray adhesive to fix). Not too bad and very...

    What are your thoughts on the Sea-Doo Switch Pontoon Jet Boat?

    Innovative and a big disruptor for sure. I don't like pontoons so its not for me at this time but this seems like it has a purpose for smaller lakes and maintenance less boating. Kudos to Sea Doo for the different innovations - steering, braking, modular deck/seating, tri-hull, .....

    1st Boat Camping Trip

    I’ll have to check out Millsboro. I don’t usually go through exton so I doubt it was me. We do like this area. No shortage of restaurants and activity. Marsh creek is a Great Lake for renting sail boats, etc

    1st Boat Camping Trip

    Yhea, weight probably wasn’t the issue and it really came down to the waves being to big, the interval and their changing direction. I think we were well above 3 feet on average and these boats don’t do well with that given the lower front design. What is great is that they plane easily and...

    1st Boat Camping Trip

    Took the AR210 for an hour trip on the Chesapeake bay from Havre De Grace to Hart Miller Island. It was suppose to be 30 miles (1 hours) but 1/2 way through we started seeing 2-4 foot waves. If we stopped to work on GPS/navigation we would get water over the front of the boat so we only did...

    Bilge works but auto doesn’t

    Wow - separate fuses for auto vs. manual bilge. I know there are 2 wires so I guess that makes sense but I would not have guessed that. I just tested my bilge the other day by filling the engine area to make sure the Auto function works.

    Blueridge Parkway Run and Tail of the Dragon 4/13/19-4/14/19

    I would love to get out to the dragon although it would have to be at a quieter time since that place can be nuts. I don't have a sport bike any more but I now have an adventure bike (KTM 1190 R) that could still work on the dragon. I swap tires in between dirt and street. If you are up for...

    Exciter 270 issues

    Sounds to me like a carb issue. Hard to beat sending them out and getting them professional restored. Unless you did this recently and really know how to test the pop-off, etc. I would consider doing this. I would also get some compression readings on both the old and new engine. The old...

    LX210 Port Engine Starting Problem

    Thats good to know then and I expect it is the swollen pump housing. The problem these days is getting parts for anything! The pump housing replacement isn't too difficult and it is a good "exercise" since you want to be able to remove the pump in case you get anything stuck in the impellers...

    LX210 Port Engine Starting Problem

    Right on. @sclx210 - when I replaced mine I went with the housings that used a replaceable plastic liner. I did replace the liner once in my time with the boat (5 years?)

    New Speedometer for 2003 LX 210

    You have a lot of great choices and many of us replaced all gauges at the same time including tachs and fuel. There are some new designs and faces including LED lighting. So many choices. Good luck. BTW, you really don't need a speedo. You are either not moving or you are going 50 mph...

    New Speedometer for 2003 LX 210

    Faria makes replacement gauges. Make sure when you install the new one you use the 6-cyl setting on the back of the speedo.... its part of the setup/configuration
