Also, are you sure there's a problem and it's not just a maintenance reminder?

It says check engine and the light is on Thanks for the info I’m guessing it’s not an active fault that would mean only the dealer can read it correct ?

I'm not sure if the general "check engine" light for maintenance throws a code or not. I don't think it does since there's nothing wrong. But don't quote me on that. But that light can turn on simply because you're due for maintenance like an oil change. How many hours on the boat?

Oh, there's a general maintenance at 10 and 25h marks. After that, it increases to 50h and stays there. So I can pretty much guarantee that's what you're getting. Essentially you need an oil change and general check on everything. The problem is you need the software to reset the light or bring it into a dealer. The software can be bought but I think it's around $500 USD. CanDoo is the name of it.

I purchased the CanDoo Pro for $400. Still the same price today. You can also purchase the BUDS software which is what BRP uses also for $400.

I'm in Canada so can't point you to a specific store. But this is the kit you want.


Comes with filter, replacement o ring and oil. You of course need a vacuum pump along with an E10 socket (to remove the filter).
