    2010 gtx iS 215 sc slow crank w/ringing sound

    I had been running it fine for about 2 weeks, it did always seem to turn over slowly, but it would start within 2 seconds. Then the other morning I tried starting it, got the 2 beeps, when I hit start it flashed limp home mode then screen went blank, no click, no crank. Replaced the battery at...

    LH or RH Propeller Drive Unit

    Is that standing behind the boat? This is what my manual shows. RH is cw and LH is ccw viewing from the aft end of the propeller. I assumed it was viewing it from behind the boat, but maybe they meant standing on the back of the boat? Or is it a typo?

    LH or RH Propeller Drive Unit

    I am trying to adjust the shift cable on my Alpha1 Gen1. When facing the drive from behind, the prop locks ccw in forward and cw in reverse. I have a Merc service manual #6 and under the Propeller Rotation section it says when viewing from aft end of prop, RH rotation turns clockwise, and LH...

    Replacing an Alpha1 Gen1 205 V6 for 87 Cobalt 17BR

    I just wanted to thank everyone for all the help with this. It took a while to get it on the bolts, ended up building a little stand for it. But got it on and it worked great the whole vacation. Looking forward to many more with it. I can't speak yet on the longevity of the SEI aftermarket...

    Replacing an Alpha1 Gen1 205 V6 for 87 Cobalt 17BR

    Sorry, guess it's kind of hard to see by the pic, but there is a good sized scratch in the metal just before the bellows that goes about half way around. Maybe 2mm deep. But I did finally get it in, it was really difficult to get set right. Multiple times I tried it I would get stuck just...

    Replacing an Alpha1 Gen1 205 V6 for 87 Cobalt 17BR

    Ok, just about ready to put this on but I have a couple more questions. Image #1 first off does it look clean enough? Not sure how far to go, and if I can use degreaser or a wire brush. Image #6 and #7 do I need to clean any more of that stuff out, also there is a pretty good sized gash going...

I live in Vegas and was planning on going back out early to do the rebuild myself but an unexpected kids flag football coaching requirement has...

    Replacing an Alpha1 Gen1 205 V6 for 87 Cobalt 17BR

    Hello all, I am new to owning a boat, 3 years in, but it sits 1200 miles away from where I live. Last summer I spent my entire 4 week vacation with my head in the engine compartment of either a boat or a PWC. I don't want to do that this year. Long story short, after I got the boat in the...

    Alpha1 Gen1 Does Not Engage FWD or REV

    Good to know, thank you. I did notice there doesn't seem like there's much space there so makes sense that I didn't see anything when I drained it. I only get 3-4 weeks with the boat a year, I live about 1200 miles from where it sits, and halfway through those weeks already. We have a...

    Alpha1 Gen1 Does Not Engage FWD or REV

    Thank you for the help, and by no means am I arguing, just trying to understand what happened so it will never happen again. Since I bought the boat I have been going by what family members that have owned boats for a long time were telling me. My brother in law that bought almost the exact...

    2001 Seadoo GTX DI Testing

    Getting a screeching noise from inside when getting on the throttle, guessing a bearing, most likely in the pump but want to do some checking. Did pull it and looked under and there is a black grommet that is off and just hanging on the shaft, will be fixing that but thinking it is not the...
