thinking about buying a SeaDoo

[JohnnyATL]

yeah i took it out and had a few problems. It ran alright, but a few times the engine would cut off after a long single beep. anyone know what one long beep means?

 

[Sam the Caveman]

Don't know about that, I never owned a Sea-Doo, only a few Kawasakis.

My best guess is if the engine heats up to a predetermined temp (above normal) you get a warning beep and an automatic engine shutdown. Just a guess though.

it was fast as hell, but when i slowed down like is said it beeps blah blah.. feels like the engine is like not getting enough gas or something idk

could be water in the fuel, thats an easy fix, but engine shutdown would occur at any given time, not a particular rpm. You can find water remover at any auto parts store.

I don't know how the cooling system works on those things, so I can't tell ya much about that. But I do know Sea-Doo uses Rotax engines and they are proud of their shit, rotax that is. I would try and do as much work yourself as you can before bringing it in without tearing up anything.

Ive drivin a few in my day but if you can get a few more g's in your pocket i guarantee you're gonna have a hell of a better time on one of these bad boys

this ones gonna be at least 15-20k but im just saying.. you could find somethign similar for around 4-6 thousand. can have some friends on it, do some tubing, wake boarding, bring a cooler full of ice, beers and of course a few spliffs.
there'd be no regrets i promise you.
