thanx cuso..... sled engines have a clutch that allows them to sit idle I know as I have owned several in the past ... the last sea doo I rode was a supercharged kawasaki, and it did not move while idling ..... so is there a way to use a sled engine that will not F$%^&*k off on me when it...
yes , will it be in gear ,that is the question ...... if I try to start this in water , would it be like starting your sled with the throttle stuck , is there a nutral , or would I be chasing this thing across a sand or gravel bar the second it started ....... as far as the seadoo swap goes ...
I read the first thing I saw ..and should read more but I wont ... I have a 115 hp ob IL6 merc ( tower of power ) on my boat , and I have started it with a rope .....what is your honest opinion .... find a seadoo engine with the works , or try a sled engine .... pros an cons ????

it is a low idle .... but ya ... having fun with it , and i will figure it out . (eventually ) had a few fishing boats and a 24 x 14 foot trimaran as a kid, sailed all over the coast ... but this is my 1st ski boat i love it .......and the wife and kids too ......... i am building my own...
it starts great..... but it has stalled a few times at low idle in gear ...... gonna change all the fuel lines to tygon , and the filter to clear one . ordered new plugs today
OK .... my bad .... the prop is a quicksilver 48 19p SS ..had a third of a tank in it when i got it , and i have run 4 tanks of premium through it since and it is oil injected. once it lays down flat and trimmed out it is alot of fun....... never thought i would buy another ( hands always...
................ nobody in my family is going to be pulled anything past thiry , but if you can get a desent hole shot and still get a good top end why not have the best of both worlds ?? i know what a throttle is , and when to use it
