Yes the speedo in inacurate! I noticed that the speedo tops out around 57-58 too! You are definately going faster than what the speedo reads!

Thanks Muddy!! Someone said to lossen the Speedo bracatte on the back of the boat, and try to lower the assembly a 1/4 of an inch??? Someone else said there could possibly be to much oil in my supercharger??

the speedo is about as reliable as miss cleo

honestly if this isnt your first ski how can you be so naive in thinking that speedo is acurate

lol, I hear ya Bro, I guess you just kinda think thats one of the thing that would on the money?? I will try to lower the assembly sunday and make another run, I need to get a GPS, If a GPS reads??? 66, and my speedo reads 56, is it a major deal to get this calibrated to the right speed???

[GDM]

lI will try to lower the assembly sunday and make another run,

i wouldnt bother ,then it will read 70 but you wont be doing 70 . better off getting a gps and forgetting about the speedo in my opinion


was your 15f stock ? if it was i doubt you were doing 63 . the point i am trying to make is pwc speedos suck

Speedjuice, Congrats on the new toy, but just start off doing a forum search first before you panic and go read Skips blog on the teamoto site, its very informative!! Oil level in motor (not supercharger) has been known to be overfilled by dealers so check it, take off the rear seat mount and tighten up all the exhaust hose clamps (some have popped off causing it to die), if your speeds are slow on speedo just loosen up the mount on the back of ski and lower it. If it seems like it is cavitating to much take alook at the intake grate area/ tunnel for extra silicone or lack of in certain spots. Im sure there are some more things I cant remember off the top of my head so others can fill in my blanks.
BTW..GDM some of us have run 70!!
