Hello Jeremy,

I own a 2005 Sea Doo GTX. My Sea Doo will only rev up but not move. The idle seems to be ok and it starts fine. I was thinking it may be carb issue. I have a friend who is a mechanic look at the machine, and he was unable to determine the problem. Your thoughts?

Randy, Brekenridge

A.Randy,

I think you are barking up the wrong tree, It is possible you may have some sort of carb issue but I suspect that the problem is a bad impellor and wear ring. Take a flash light and inspect the impellor, if you see any scoring or debris that is most likely your problem. I see this all to often. Words of wisdom, know where you are riding at all times. All it takes is a little sand or debris from the lake to cause this problem. I hope this helps and good luck.

P.S
You can always bring the unit in for us to repair and simply call our parts department if you want to fix it yourself.

Thanks

Jeremy D

According to Bayliner, the 175 Bowrider is one of their best selling boats with one in three of their buyers starting with a 175. Bayliner has methodically improved this model over the last six years, and in our opinion, the new look and styling is why this boat is so popular. This model now offers more standard features over other models in its class. Bayliner added several optional packages to add even greater excitement to personalize your boat.

This fresh redesign is probably one of the coolest ways to get into boating. Bayliner has packaged a bestselling fiberglass production boat with a trailer including swing-away tongue and 3L MerCruiser engine so you can get on the water quickly and start having fun.
