Great job thanks. Just picked up my Sport 18 230hp. The 5th contact on the trailer plug is activated by the vehicle backup up light circuit if vehicle is equipped with it. This engages a solenoid in the surge brake system that deactivates the brakes so they don’t lock up when backing up. If you don’t have a backup light circuit on your vehicle plug, you can use the trailer back up lock-pin to deactivate the trailer brakes when backing up. Just make sure to remove the lock pin when traveling, or you will not have trailer brakes.
Must be nice to be able to go out a buy one of these, cause I was told by the local dealer it would take around a year before getting the boat. But wanted a down payment upfront.
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately some dealers are not as honest or good as we are. We work hard to be a great dealer and focus on the needs of our customer. Our management team is in constant contact with BRP to make sure we get our share of products based on our performance. Even before the Covid stuff we have always been a strong dealer for BRP doing it right for the customers and making BRP look great along the way. Most dealers are multi line and dont care to sell BRP products thus that is why they have lesser sales and find it more difficult to get units because there sales was not strong before the Covid sales. But we have several Switch pontoon in stock right now. We have been getting them in for the last two months.
Thanks for watching. It would work for fishing. BRP does not make a trolling motor mount for this. But aftermarket companies I am sure have some mount that would work. BRP does have some rod holders that mount to the rails.
Thanks for watching. With a 4 people we got the 230 in an 18 footer up to 37mph on our lake. Calm water. That speed is nice and with the motor below everyone it is really easy to talk to everyone while traveling at higher speeds.
Hey y’all, couple of questions if ya don’t mind. What are they like to winterize? I’m from New England and never had a jet ski, more of a Malibu guy. (but the Mrs wants a pontoon boat next summer). Also any idea on the height from the water line to the highest thing on the boat? (I’ve got to fit under a low bridge to get to our main lake) Best of luck w/ your sales, Regards, Joe aka Low Profile
Thanks for watching. The winterization is pretty straight forward. The Motor has it own coolant so it does not need anything done to the motor for winter storage. The fuel will get stabilizer and the Exhaust will have water in it so it has to be flushed with Antifreeze so it dont freeze. But that is the winterization process. As far at height. I will say it close to 9-10 feet from waterline to top canopy. But the canopy can be let down super fast and easy if that is to tall.
Thanks for watching. Rival racing has different jet props for more performance and speed. It takes a little work to change one out but the benefits can be huge.

Thanks for watching. Great tip on the trailer.
You need that only because the trailer have a disk brake not drum brake.
Nice review. Waiting on my Switch now...
Thanks for watching. Cool you will enjoy it for sure.

Just got my cruise haven’t been able to enjoy it yet but maybe weather will get better
Thanks for watching. Yeah I like the cruise model also.
Good review. Thank you. Would it be better to have the dealer install the second back up battery?
Thanks for watching. You can do that for sure. The second battery set up is still a small battery as well.
Great review.
Thanks for watching.
Congrats on your 10000!
Thanks for watching.
Awesome job enjoy the video
Thanks for watching.
BRP needs a fishing version of this boat. Extra batteries would be a must , but need a place for them.
Thanks for watching. Yeah they do need the Fishing version. I think it will happen just a matter of time.
New fishing model is available with a trolling package
I'm curious what your thoughts are for fishing. Does BRP make some attachment to put on a trolling motor? What about rod holder attachments?
Thanks for watching. It would work for fishing. BRP does not make a trolling motor mount for this. But aftermarket companies I am sure have some mount that would work. BRP does have some rod holders that mount to the rails.
Great Job!!!
Thanks for watching.
Thank You for the video. Will this switch fit into a standard garage on the trailer?
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately not. It needs atleast a 12foot door height.
@@AdrenalineCyclesKy thanks
@@AdrenalineCyclesKy lower the top?
Whats the fuel consumption, gallons per hour or miles per gallon with atypical load 4 adults cruising versus the same pulling a tube?
Thanks for watching. That is a question that we do not know the answer to. BRP has not put that information out anywhere we can find it.
Great video! Been really tempted to pull the plug and purchase one of these. I'm curious what the top speed is on sport mode from your experience?
Thanks for watching. With a 4 people we got the 230 in an 18 footer up to 37mph on our lake. Calm water. That speed is nice and with the motor below everyone it is really easy to talk to everyone while traveling at higher speeds.
After break in our 21/230 cruise hits 43 on calm water. The 18/230 sport should be a bit faster.
@Reed Shick That's not bad! How many people on board?

How can you do a "prop" change for more speed on a jet boat?
Thanks for watching. Rival racing has different jet props for more performance and speed. It takes a little work to change one out but the benefits can be huge.
Can you waterski (slalom) off the back of one of those ?
Thanks for watching. Yeah
Can you mount a trolling motor and or power poles?
Thanks for watching. Trolling motor could be mounted pretty easy. The power poles would take some effort to install but we believe it can be done.
What has changed from 2023 to 2024?
Thanks for watching. Nothing but you get a new Limited Model in 2024.
Where do they sell the 22 version?
Thanks for watching.
Will this pull 2-3 tubers plus 2 in the boat
Thanks for watching. Yeah it will do that for sure with ease. It has good performance and pushes good through the water.
whats the length on this one?
Thanks for watching. This is 18ft long.
You assume everyone knows what an "IDF" is.......
Thanks for watching. It is a system BRP has on most Sea-Doo models that helps to reverse the prop to dislodge debris in the jet drive.
ASSIM COMO TEM O JET PARA PESCA, DEVERIAM FAZER UM SWITCH PARA PESCA, VIVEIRO PARA ISCA, PORTA VARAS, BANCOS MAIS ALTOS, ANCORA ELETRICA E ETC.
Thanks for watching.
I'm gonna get the biggest chest and convert it into a livewell😍
Thanks for watching. Yeah that is a great ideal.
Really? You don’t know about a five pin connector? Almost all, no all big boat trailers have a five pin connector.
Thanks for watching. We usual have 4 or 7 pin connectors. But we know about the 5 pin now.
