Seadoo Sportster Speedster FAIL first time at Water

[@MrJMagoo]

Good to see it up and running.

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Not sure if you lit it off before you took it to go launch it or not, always do that with my own boat before we go to the lake so there's no embarrassing moments. Glad to see you found the problem(s)! Great video just the same!

[@mikewilcox5909]

I just bought this exact boat and can’t figure the engine door latching to fix it. Also have some cut wires in the front driver compartment. Radio is missing and trying to figure that out. I wish you were local or I could come to you to figure this out since you’re an awesome trouble shooter. Awesome vids on the SeaDoo Sportster/Speedster

[@ElGordo_831]

Hey bud. I got a similar boat. But I’m having a couple of issues when I start my boat, it starts for three seconds and then it shuts off completely it does this periodically any idea what could it be?

[@eclipser2004]

Just had to change the brown solenoid on my 2007 GTI 130. It just got progressively harder to start each year until this year it wouldn't crank at all, even when boosted. A quick google search pointed me to the old style brown solenoid. newer style ones are black

[@JeepComeTrue]

WD40 was always my go to. When water was the problem. Should always keep a bottle in ski

[@willmatic84]

Its crazy how something so lil makes a huge impact but at least you got to run 👌🏽 #BSTEDMTRSPRTS

[@DarrensTruckzs]

Dang ,bro .. well at least it did it right at the boat launch an not way out in the water , do you have paddles jus case ? Lol , but goad you got it figured out .. an geeze twice the price for a part , hopefully you can recoup your money back 👍 that bird at the beach really wanted what you were eating haha lol ! So hopefully next water run goes better , i saw one today down at the water here at my place an it actually goes really good as there were three guys in it an never missed a beat !! Should be ripper an fun ! Cheers 👌

[@tgtshirts1]

thumbs up... oh buy a 2 way radio, its really a good idea when you boat stops working on the water, just saying.. cheers!

[@boynextdoor240]

Glad u got it sorted out, quick question did ur boat come with a plug to connect the hose to or is that something custom? I can’t seem to find any on the back of my pump

[@shawnstoik]

great video!

[@fxgrnd388]

Shit John, you shocked it with all that detailing you did. I'm glad you got it fixed. 👍

[@Unfinished-Business24]

Sorry to hear that bro you had done so much work on that hopefully next time

[@marcguerard4278]

Good Stuff. Appreciate the reality vs fake vids. I had a feeling the Maiden voyage may not go so well. It is always something. And expect the unexpected with boating. Especially with the weird beeping and disabling it. You may want to hang on to that Mpem And rip it around before you return it to make sure everything's all good. My similar boat has been honestly awesome and reliable for many years, and now it's starting to act up. Revs only to 5800 RPM....suspecting dirty fuel issues....

[@jlobo941]

What's up with the tach?

[@haigpogharian2145]

if you attach the beeper again you can enter advanced diagnostic mode. Basically the machine tells you what’s wrong. I believe on older model sea doos it’s 5 presses on the starter button and then you put the key on and it beeps a certain pattern. Based on what it beeps, it tells you where the machine is failing. I.e battery’s dead, bad mpem, bad ground etc….

[@sunshinesallday]

Glad you figured it out.

[@bearbeau13]

Do you think the wd40 killed the box?

[@techanswerguy8820]

Mine turned out to be the "MPEM CDI". It would start when it wanted to. It's not the module you purchased but another one which was contained inside the box which contains the coil, rectifier and other things. it's a black rectangular box with a bunch of wires hanging out of it.

[@boostedmotorsports2]

Good to know! Mine ended up being some water/corrosion on the MPEM fuse box under the dash. Cleaned the pins and put dielectric grease and now its back to its normal self

[@kimwilliams1788]

Very helpful I just bought one

[@63метра]

Hi. Where does the braid wrapped around the hose in the back of the motor go - I don't know how to attach a photo here. Give me your mail, I'll show it to you.

[@Golf_Dad123]

I want one of these boats now after watching your videos, but can’t find one. How would I go about getting one?

[@BobSmith-cb5xr]

They've all been junked, as they should be.

[@boynextdoor240]

[@BobSmith-cb5xr]

@@boynextdoor240 These are the most unreliable boats ever made. They constantly have problems

@@BobSmith-cb5xr your wrong on that I'm 35 years in the business and these boats are extremely reliable.the only thing that kills these boats is neglect.and water intrusion is neglect

Lanyard?

[@djmjr77]

Moral of the story: when things are beeping at you like crazy(screaming like a chicken).. dont disable the beeper 😜🤪😝

[@jcerna7226]

Hi and dry buddy I really wanted to see that thing in the water 😢😂

[@cjpearceja]

Boats …had a couple of my lake days cut short.

[@WONofAkind]

Don't shut engine off with water running still!

[@boostedmotorsports2]

I didn’t

[@sunshinesallday]

Aww that sucks

[@benos4x4adventures49]

Not too good to idle for too long without water mate. You'll cook it... 🤔

[@boostedmotorsports2]

Of course if it’s for a long time. Starting up for 30 seconds isn’t an issue

You were at the beach with a girl.
