    1996 Sugar Sand Mirage Won’t fire

    Just bought the boat ( july 2020). After gasing up at the dock, I put it in reverse and it almost immediately shut off. Will crank but not fire up. Sprayed ether in the carbs but did not get ignition. Sound familiar to anyone? Ran great the previous weekend.

    1997 Mirage Sport 175, overheated engine

    The 175 V6 engine on my Mirage Sport overheated last year and ingested saltwater. The spark plugs were rusted a few days later when the dealer was checking it over and am pretty sure one or both of the heads are warped. The boat and trailer are in nice condition for its age but I'm confused...

    2006 Sugar Sand 250 Jet surging

    I am happy to be a new sport jet owner. A recent accident with my 11 year old son and a prop led me to go back to jets. The boat only has 50 hrs on it and runs perfect. Question is at slow cruising (1200-1500 rpm) it surges noticeably. Enough I can see my passengers heads bobbing back and...
