What an amazing incident and thank you for posting it! This rider was prepared with a knife, which is a necessary tool to carry on the water.

I would just buy a different brand of mixer, like CRC, that is much cheaper than a Salt-Away branded one. I just bought a Salt-Away mixer and it leaks no matter how tight I screw the bowl on. At a...

Again, this is not news to people who have owned Yamahas with the NanoXcel hull. It was such a problem on the FZ hull that a forum member made a reinforcement piece for the tunnel. I had one...

I run my skis in the Gulf of Mexico out of Fort Myers and I don't notice that much moisture but I think the key is to remove ALL salt water after EVERY ride. I only apply a rust inhibitor to the...

This is an interesting modification and it looks like it was done professionally. Polaris installed a Jet Works water flow restricting valve on the Pro1200 from the factory to reduce the amount of...

I don't have much to offer but moral support as I have been struggling for a couple of years trying to get the 15F engine in my decommissioned race ski running. Your symptoms sound exactly like...

The RFI system can be a troublesome one and you need to find the right tech to fix it. Special tools are required and it might help to search this forum. I've been lucky with mine (a '98 GTX) but I...

This is an accurate assessment for the servicing of PWCs. On my service writer's desk is a printed list of the typical owner caused problems that aren't fault of the dealer. Basically, people who...

I really like Buliwyf's thinking. I might also add that years ago one of the reasons I got out of snowmobiling was the lack of reliability. In as few of words as possible, here's my assessment of...

I never met Tommy but he was one of the few members whose posts I always read-no matter what the issue or brand of ski. He shared technical information that was insightful and accurate.

You do NOT want to use Fluid Film for short term corrosion prevention. It is thick, stinky, and hard to remove. Like K447 said above-get a can of each of the products you like the description of...

Those look like scratches to me. Possibly someone took the engine apart before and used a pry bar to separate the cylinders from the crankcase.

Good investigative work! A long time GH member (nmpeter) posted this failure he found on a customer's ski one time. I can't figure out what that rubber bushing is but that bolt looks like the ones...

Yep, the plowing on the STX hull at no wake speeds is real and annoying. If I don't have a passenger I just sit further back on the seat. Once on plane it performs fine IMO, there is no need to...

The crank position sensor is mounted in a cover on the front of the engine. I just installed a new one and my symptoms didn't change. In fact, it's worse as now it won't fire at all. I'm trying to...

You could spend hours of research on this forum trying to understand why the carbon seal fails. I have gone through 5 of them in 325 hours on my '17 RXT-260 and it wasn't until my independent...

The FZ hull had the same problem. I put a large splash deflector on the bow and that eliminated most of the spray. It has to be mounted very​ securely or the force of the water will rip it free.

It's too bad you didn't get to use this fun machine since 2018. Here's what I would do:
1) remove the battery and charge it and check the condition with a load test
2) siphon as much fuel out of...

This is a great style of riding. I love it when the rivers are high around Minneapolis as we can get on the same narrow twisty rivers you have. Another bonus is that we can bypass a lock on the...

The bracket rivets on my '17 RXT failed more than once so I had my mechanic replace them with SST bolts. He said it was a difficult job because of the small clearance between the hull and glove box....

There's no question that the ST-3 based RXT-X offers a lot of rider centric improvements over the previous S3 hulled skis. The main turn off for me is, as Team Bilford says above, the weakness of...

Why not use the LinQ fuel can? I use one on my '17 RXT since I do...

This is a great review Kevin! I am partial to this craft (owning two of them) but I think they made a lot of beneficial improvements. The most significant is keeping the fiberglass construction for...

BRP would have warehouses full of used skis that couldn't be fixed if they gave them to all consumers who demanded them. The only action the company understands is a legal one-it's nothing personal....

I don't know-the ski operator was to the right of the other boat so "technically" he had the right of way. It looked like the ski operator had a severe case of tunnel vision.
