Did you get your problem fixed? Which ski was fixed? Probably the reprogramed one.

Did the dealer check the supercharger hoses under full load?

Sorry fellas.....These skis are a piece of crap...I have been out 4 times and all 4 times 1 of the skis have came back in with electrical problems..Never again will i buy sea doo..................

Outlaw

Let me know when you want to dump them I will buy at least one. I would love a good deal on one. IMO Seadoo makes the best skis.........sorry about your luck.

Look at the posts, a brand new FX SHO total blown engine @ 14.5 hours. Point is every manufactuer will have some problems, it's how many, how bad and how they recitfy the problem. I truly believe the right dealer makes all the difference.

I get what you are saying but dam, 4 times out 4 different problems..$28,000 and you can have both with Triton trailer.

YamaDoo

I agree I've heard of many people having problems with the Kawasaki Ultra 250/260s too. So like you said there is no perfect PWC. These modern machines have just as much computers and electronics on board as cars it's no wonder sometimes those things fail.

Problems with your Sea Doo as well I have a 2010 Wake Pro with 5 hours and already have problems.. Did Sea Doo cover the repair ??

Link to my post about my Problem

mnemonic

I had 8 sea-doo PWCs form a 2004 4-tec all the way up to a 2010 RXT260 with the freeky suspension seat. Until THIS YEAR i never had a problem.....
This Year:
We traded a 2004 4-tec in for the new 2010 Yellow (like a lemon ) seadoo 260HP RXT w/ freeky suspension ski, MISTAKE! Got $2700 for old ski, new ski @ 1 hour BEEP BEEP BEEP threw a code and beeped constantly, i forget what it was, Riva said, it is normal and cleared the code... I am like, OK. @ 2.5 hours BEEP BEEP BEEP another code, OTAS light flashing, etc etc etc, dealer says hmm neve seen this before, clear the code. @ 2.6 hours, BEEP BEEP BEEP, and we say screw this because it was way more unstable, the steering squeeked like an old Chevy (dealer said this is normal too), salt water was flooding the electronics through the new rear hatch, and the engine was I-M-P-O-S-I-B-L-E to work on because it was completely encapsolated(dealer says an ADDIDTIONAL $120 to change the frigging oil!), so we trade for a new 2010 Yamaha SHO FX Cruiser, loosing $1300. The result of that deal was the 14.5 hour catastrophic engine failure Outlaw is refering too!

Now here is some more fun facts! In-between the 2010 see doo and the Yamaha failure we traded a 2007 Seadoo 215 SC/IC wake ski that ingested a supercharger washer (Dealer said this is normal too) for another FX SHO(yet to have any problems with this one)!

Oh and one more! Come back to Missouri and my other 2007 Seadoo SC/IC Wake ingested a gallon of water while i rode it because the IC did not drain properly and froze/broke over the winter (ALWAYS ANTIFREEZE THE IC!!!!)!

I think the best bet is to paddle LOL!

Ok now it's Seadoos turn huh? I have never seen the likes of problems you have. I own a 2009 RXT-IS, the proper name. Either you had a substandard dealer or just another big dose of bad luck or bad carma.

MY Seadoos have served me very well, even the radical 2006 RXT RIVA STAGE III with close to 300 HP which runs 75 mph @ 76 hours. My 2008 GTX 215 which is a RXT 215 on the inside has never missed a beat @ 53 hours.My 2009 RXT-IS never had a problem until I twisted the driveshaft spline at 29 hours, or course I drive it like a MX bike. Which Seadoo replaced for free. The suspension works very well either in auto mode or manual, the new S-3 hull is great. It does have a slightly higher center of gravity due to the suspension, making it a little more tippy at idle only. Whats this 57 chevy crap, my steering is flawless no squeaks. There is no way any of your skis would keep pace in open water with the RXT-IS guess everybody is entitled to their opinion.

Any problems I have my dealer J&J Watercraft is quick to fix or over the phone assistance. Heck I even go jet skiing with them.

Maybe you should go to Kawasaki and try out their FINE MACHINES.

Where is that Ernest?????

Watching your posts is liking watching the movie "DUDE WHERE'S MY CAR"
