20 Sea Doo Utopia w/ Merc. 240 EFI HELP!!

If you have this boat or a similar one, i have heard that there are seals and things that need to be lubricated. Does anyone know what and where they are? Can I do it myself? I am also curious, should I get a tune up on it?? does anyone know how to Change out the electrical parts to it as well?? I want to start doing the right things to prevent it from breaking down.

There are 3 simple little steps;

1) Tow it to Boat Tune and drop it off
2) Return at predetermined time (with wallet in hand) and pick it up
3) Tow it to any desired location and enjoy the day!!!

Worked for me!!!

where's the adventure in that? Just grab a wrench, start taking things apart. You know when to stop when you stand back and look at all the parts and have no idea where anything goes. now put all of the parts in a box and shake vigourously. now try to put everything back and you're done. I recommend beer as a lubricant. (for the mechanic not the engine)

boat engines don't like beer

great, great advice Jason. I'm gonna run home now and grab a wrench and just start taking things off of the engine, although something tells me I might be a bit late to the island this weekend, in fact make that a week late.

Most people take Jason's approach first then follow up by reading the owner's manual as a last resort...-

You could also post a similiar request on a website called the Hulltruth dot com, a great website for boating repair information.

However, after many years of experience with trying all three approaches, i've found nothing beats a good repair shop.....
