I just bought a pair of '95-'96 Sea-Doo Bombardier XP's. Both need work , and at leat one is in running condition. We got the PWC's for free and only paid for the trailer they rest on.
The previous owner purchased them in a small town in Central Florida. So they were most likely lake ridden. He himself said they were running when he got them. But do to his age and health, he just cant do anything with them anymore. So they have been sitting in his driveway for the past 5 yrs...
Im handy when it comes to most things, and have worked on both automotive and small engines before. So Im hoping the I can tackle a big chunk of the much needed maintenance. Any tips you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated. Seeing as this is my first time owning and working on any type of watercraft.
I finally got the skis home. Pressure cleaned them, got most of the oxidation and dirt off (surprisingly). I also replaced the bunk boards, trailer lightning, new spare tire carrier, winch, jack, and bearings.
The trailer pulled great, and I can wait to get'em up and running.
If you guys were in my shoes, what would you do first?
Welcome to the forum Big Boi. Love the old XPs, fun little machines. Why people just let their watercraft sit in the elements without even putting a tarp over them is beyond me. But intelligence or even common sense is lacking nowadays. Anyways first thing if you can get them to turn over is pour some 2 stroke oil into the cylinders and see what compression the motors have.
Took some pics today. From the pics what do u guys think about theengine compartment. I know that batteries r missing. And in one pic there's a toggle switch.... I have no idea what this guy rigged up
I didn't. I did get the repair manual from the previous owner as well. And he wrote that it needed a couple items. And I have a couple items in my garage that weren't pictured. I got those from him in a box.
Bought this a couple of weeks ago, previous owner met me at a local river and rode it for me. At the time it struggled to start the first few tries, but we chalked it up to being cold.
Stupidly, I never pulled the drain plugs or checked in the hull after he rode it till he was gone.
After...

Ok First let me start by saying thank you to whoever can help me. On Monday I bought 2 2004 gtx 4tec supercharged skis. I put them in the water to water test and they were fine. They had been setting for a long while and seemed good. I will call them ski 1 and ski 2.
Ski 1 has 125 hours on it...
I have a 2003 supercharged GTX and am wanting to use what I need to convert it over to a racing runabout I am building. Has anyone here done that before? Is there a conversion kit? How much electronics do I absolutely need?
Hi all
Just wanted to let you guys know a little over a year now I've been working on trying to fix the famous Code 25 issue on the 2004 to 2007 Honda Jet ski's.
So far I have a solid fix for the F12X model (Turbo) and currently working on a solution to fix the NON turbo ecu's as apparently...
