    Sucked up mud / rocks in jet ski and won’t accelerate

I also know that the way Seadoo (or any rotax) set up works is the opposite of a prop driven boat in reverse. My question is two part-(a) is yamaha reverse steering...

    Well… The Rumours Are True…

    I heard talk about this in the forum.. but I couldn’t nor for the life of my figure out WHY… Sea doo is confirmed making a line of pontoon boats. I am personally not a fan of pontoon boats, but maybe that’s because I haven’t hit the big 40 yet. Any thoughts on this from you pontoon guys...

    Intermittent Starting Issues

    I purchased a Sea-Doo M2 Jet Drive 210hp a couple months ago and got to use it twice before the problems started. We took it out one day, everything was fine, pumped up the tube and then it wouldn't start. Got it towed off the water and was told it needed a starter ($100) so replaced that...

    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...
