@@KevinLab010 do you mean around the gauge?

@@billsseadoomid-lifecrisis6653 no specifically on the very nose of the ski

I couldn't say but it sounds like you may have a fuel leak. I'm not the most mechanical guy on the internet for sure but without knowing what year and model, I definitely can not offer much help if any. Let me know and if I can offer any advice I certainly will. That said, I would definitely suggest having a certified jet ski mechanic look at it if you are not mechanically inclinded.

Ya, I have seen your videos, they're great. Glad you are beating cancer so far and happy to have another person making jet ski content for fun :) Thanks

Thanks .. I'd love a project like that. I'm definitely still learning, especially when it comes to the motors but I am getting there. Good luck and thanks for the comment. The on water part 2 will be out in a few weeks once it warms up a bit more here in Ontario.

My pleasure! thanks ..

this was a few years ago now for me but if I remember, I used side cutters, got the tip of them in the part of the clip that you would have squeezed to tighten them and just twisted it a bit. They came off way easier than I imagined that they would. I remember being stressed about it but in the end, they came off really easily. I'd say side cutters or small needle nose pliers and you'll be surprised how easy it is. Good luck

My pleasure, I hope that your surgery goes as smoothly as mine. It's no fun for sure but it's not too bad really. I am at 6 weeks now and doing well. Walking a lot of the time without a cane. A lot less discomfort and more strength each day. the progress is very consistent and very evident. Let me know how it goes once you have it done. All the best ..

Thanks, I appreciate that.

100% true but I did go back and pump it all the way through before running the motor. I was paranoid about this exact thing since it was my first time doing it. Good advice though!

Right around 300. I've had it for the past 25 and done the proper maintenance and before that, the previous owner had a fair bit of maintenance documentation so I think the motor is in good shape and the pump is just one year old so over all, its in good shape.

my pleasure, happy to share the experience.

Good luck! probably done long ago at this point but I'm sure you got it done.

Hi David, thank you very much. A 2000 challenger would have the Rotax two-stroke motors 717 or 787 both great motors . I have limited experience with them, but I do own a jetski with a 787 two-stroke motor. They are extremely easy to work on if you are moderately mechanical. They also have many parts available for them. From everything that I read on these forms, the Mercury engines are very problematic to get parts for. I understand they are good engines but hard to get parts for and even harder to find people to work on. If you need somebody to do the work. That said, depending on where you are, you may find it difficult to find a mechanic to work on a two-stroke Rotax motor as well. Furthermore, I would suggest that having a boat with two motors would be superior to a single motor boat for a number of reasons. If it were me, I would be steering clear of the mercury motors, and now that I own a 2stroke Rotax motor. I am very comfortable recommending them. All that said :-) if you could afford it, I would recommend moving up to a 2005 or newer challenger 180 with the four stroke motor. Much more dependable, more powerful and mechanics everywhere available to work on them. Hope that helps, if you have any more questions feel free and good luck.

Well done Herve.. I hope that you are okay. I have since sold this boat but I now have 2 jetski's and have had 7 all together. I love them even more and they are a lot easier to move around and store and work on. Take care
