    Bilge pump wiring

    2008 Sea-Doo 180 Challenger So my original bilge pump went out. I am replacing it with a Rule pump with an automatic sensor built in. It now works perfect in auto but I cannot get the manual switch on the helm to work. Is this as simple as a bad switch possibly or is there something else that...

    New owner-Stuck in reverse

    Hello all. New to jet boats (and boats in general). Recently purchased a 2008 Sea-Doo 180 Challenger and took it out for the first time this past weekend.

    Want To Buy 2012-2013, 242LS or 212x

    My wife has green-lighted a new boat for our family. After being a long-time Yamaha Waverunner owner and SeaDoo X-20 owner, I have always lurked the Yamaha forums for a 21-24' boat. My reason for this vintage is the updated hull and tip-down towers. A 2013 with any leftover YES contract would...

    Trying to summarize myself for 1st time

    Trying to save money this year and summarize myself which everyone says is a piece of cake. The guy who winterized put a note in the boat that says to "check all drain plugs before putting the boat in the water." I know to put the plugs in the back of the boat, but would there be any other...
