Great job... thanks bro

[@jsrenner777]

First thanks for making this video! I have the the exact same GSX. Had my VTS motor replaced this past winter by a shop that has a guy had the same gsx as well. Worked great first handful of times out and then the VTS stopped working again. Took off the housing and there was some water in there. Now have to troubleshoot the problem to see if I need another motor. Will be tackling soon. Wondering if you might be able to answer some questions once I get into it. Thx again!

[@jsrenner777]

SE Creator thx for your reply! So I determined the motor is fine. It works when I run positive and negative from the battery to the motor. My fuse was not blown however I still think and am hoping the problem is the relay. Not sure how to test if it’s the thumb switch on the handlebar. My money is on the relay since it’s a common issue. So I am going to attempt your fix. I’m a geeenhorn when it comes to 12v electronics. Would appreciate any help you might offer if I run into issues. I did have a question now. So does your relay system stop the motor from running after the trim hits the full top or bottom or does it just keep running as long as you hold the buttons? Any idea what happens if you hold to long? Would you mind to connect on Facebook ? Might be easier to communicate that way if I run into issues. Here’s my profile facebook.com/jonrenner7 Thx again!!

I own this seadoo now! Who is this? Who made this video? Kinda crazy! I just bought it from Milwaukee on the 11th of July 2021

The guy i sold it to (scott i think) sank it first day he had it. I hope its working out for you!

So have a problem, the caked in electronics for the trim shorted out and keeps blowing my main fuse. I know this cause I was able to undo all work I did on the trim and everything works fine. I disconnected the wires from the caked in and kept my wires connected thinking that would do it but not getting anything. Wondering if the switches got jacked up. Regardless, keeping the wires connected to the existing caked in trim electronics is not a good idea. Would have started a fire had my fuse not blown.

[@mostlymotorized]

The only wires that are still connected are the ones that indicate the trim gauge. The power wires to the caked in relays are not connected.

[@jasonbeets4686]

@@mostlymotorizedmy trim gauge is just staying in the middle. And the motor will keep spining if i hold the vts button either way. Is there a way to make the gauge work properly?

[@jjooeekkeerr]

from where or from whith cable you have a 12V and negative cable ????

[@philsneap9036]

Hi does the engine have to be running for the vts to work because I’ve got the battery hacked up and key fob on, but the vts is not working, is it because of the low voltage thanks,, Regards Phil from the UK

Приветствую,где подключить шланг для запуска не на воде?

[@markbulaclac7084]

Do you have the modified electrical diagram for this mod?

[@jobschriemer1677]

I can only hear a click is that the relay?

[@codypro3255]

I just did mine but guage doesn't work is it supposed to?

[@djdj101010]

Does the trim stop by itself when it gets to the top/bottom with this setup?

[@mostlymotorized]

It doesnt, but it also doesnt have enough power to break anything if youre on the button a second too long.

[@bigredmurker2346]

Honestly there's a better way to do it. Go buy a wire box that's mentioned in a vts fix forum. Sorry forgot which one. Then buy a auto reset 10 amp fuse. Plumb it in and vts will stop when it maxes out. Sorry for very little info been awhile

[@mostlymotorized]

I was avoiding the expensive box. Ive dobe this to a few skis now and its really easy to sort out now that i have a good mental schematic

[@shannonwilliams601]

If you just go on eBay and type in VTS fix a guy from Lockheed developed a little box that just plugs in and it works great

[@ibby2790]

Are you referring to the one Called the solution fix? For about $90

[@mostlymotorized]

Yeah the price keeps going up so i was working around it

[@carlosandaya7977]

What kinda relays are they? Are they normally open or normally closed?

[@mostlymotorized]

Its all in the video description

[@famvids9627]

Did this problem cause you to get a 12v low warning?

[@famvids9627]

@@mostlymotorized I have this same model, just bought it. Starter was smoking today so I think that needs to be replaced but when it did run, the trim would go up and down perfect but then when I was out on the lake in Minnesota it would display as going up and down all at once. Like it was glitching out.

i wish you could of showin it actually working as a visual.
