If I can add something for easy flushing and so you don't need to run to shut off the water each time to the value on your building, put Garden Hose Shut Off Valve between the end of the house and your quick disconnect. So you can shut off water by your quick disconnect instead of at the building.

We have been using SeaDoo skis for forever and our biggest complaint was threading the hose every time (we live in salt water so we flush every time). Those quick connects look like a lifesaver! We just purchased our 21' SeaDoo Switch - our first boat ever. I'm hoping that our knowledge of PWCs will help us learn this boat quickly.

Don't worry about anti freeze. Just blow out excess water with our Blowout adapter. The cooling system flush is the same as the standard flush procedure. We just pull the plug to let any trash or sediment get out of the system. Make sure to reinstall the plug or you could fry your exhaust system.

Water is not flowing through the flush port until a pressurized hose is connected to it. It has a check valve in the line so water can't back flow out of the inlet.

HI Jef. I guess that may be your name. I loved your in-depth videos and I hate admit that I binge watched them last night at past midnight. Only question I have is, my compact does not have the port on the left side that you open after running water through the port on the right side. Mine only has the 2 drain plugs at the bottom and one threaded exhaust port on the right and a non threaded port top left and a threaded hull port on the right top. Wonder if the configuration is different for the compact. Thanks and keep up the good work. Don’t change a single thing.

there has been a stop sale immediate corrective action put out on all unregistered switches to do a exhaust cooling mod because they have found that the catalyst overheats and burns a hole in the cat, sadly the amazing brp company has said any registered "sold" units are not covered until this problem happens, then they want to replace the cat and do the upgrade, so any switch owners be aware you could own a switch that could fail, then you got to take it to the dealership, then you have to wait for parts, and knowing brp's part shortages you could possibly be waiting a while most likely loose a season.

55psi is the max that the flush system can handle without damaging the system. You have to have a regulator to dial down your compressor. They're not expensive.

Excellent video, thank you. However, at the end you mention "You also have a little drain here. This is for water that gets inside the deck and then rolls out, gets outside the boat this way...." I'm not sure that is accurate. My shop said that is where the bilge pump connects. If you turn on the bilge pump, and there is water in the bilge, it will come out of that hole. I've noticed that when anchored and swimming with a couple of adults standing on the back of the boat, that hole will drop below the water line.

@JetBoatPilot
@JetBoatPilot 5 ай бұрын
It is possible but there are several potential fail points that could cause damage to your boat if you make a mistake during the flush. We did it on our last Switch and it worked well but we ultimately did not recommend the conversion to others due to some really complicated issues that arose during the use of the conversion. In short you can do it but its possible that you will damage your boat's engine if you do it wrong.

No on the antifreeze part. The engine is closed loop and has a coolant inside that will not freeze. The exhaust can be fully evacuated by using the Blowout adapter and compressed air.

I believe its 45 psi on the trailer tires. I don't have one here at the moment to check but your sidewalls on your tires should tell you the max PSI. Also if you feel like the steering is pulling too hard to the right you can lengthen the steering cable a bit which will give a bit more left nozzle deflection while the handlebars are in the neutral position. Don't do too much of this though as it could limit your steering to the right.

The motor is closed loop so it does not need to be flushed. The exhaust however is open loop and does need to be flushed. The lower right side port shown in the video is the flush port and should be used as shown in this video. The other ports are either flush for the pontoons or drains for the system during winterization. Do not remove the lower left port cap unless you're draining the system for winter storage. You must reinsert that cap prior to flushing the engine or you could damage your exhaust system.

put a shut off valve on the end of your hose. Much easier and faster than running all the way back to the spigot to turn off the water

Where does the bilge pump evacuate water from? I thought that was the top hole on the back of the hull. If not, where is it?

I think that is the bilge discharge. Top hole under the swim platform on the port side.

Nice Video, On your Air hose flush, Why not add the regular quick connect to it. so no need to remove the boat and reconnect it again after.

Sure, and thank you getting back so fast. So on the engine water flush - you had installed 1/2 quick connect and the other half to the hose. However when using the pneumatic hose - you had removed the quick connect - ad screwed in the air connect. So my thought would be - would it be easier just to have a quick connect on the airhose to the boat -

@@grein46087 we have an adapter that has an air hose quick disconnect on our website. Is that what you mean? I am not sure I could do both water an air through the same line if that's what you're saying.

@@JetBoatPilot Ok not running water and air on the same line. On the boat, there is one half of quick connect, and you had the other on the water hose. I am good there. So when demonstrating the air purge, You had removed the quick connect to screw in your airline. What I am asking is, would it be a easier to also attach a quick connect to the air hose - so there is not any unscrewing the adapter, screw in the air hose [do the air blowout], unscrew air hose and re-screw in the quick connect adapter.

I went to the Sacramento boat show this past weekend and a person selling the current model said the advantage of the jet drive is that if the engine needed repair, he could fix anything in 40 minutes. Would you agree with that? It seems like an exaggeration.

Do not, I repeat: do NOT unhook your boat from the trailer until you are at/in the water! Otherwise you might be trying to figure out how to get your boat off the ramp and back on the trailer.

So let me get this right, you want us to pay alot more money for this craft, and then they made it striped so you must buy all accessories and to top it off instead of just flushing an outboard motor at the end of the day boating ,you must flush the motor then the pontoons that also flushes the deck . Man I'm tired
@JetBoatPilot
@JetBoatPilot 2 ай бұрын
Nope the boat comes available in many trim levels. Accessories are optional for those who would like them. The flush is not necessary for the engine since its closed loop and uses actual automotive style coolant. The exhaust flush is necessary after use in salt water. In fresh water not really necessary as often. The pontoon flush is needed a couple times per year depending on the water you're boating in.

Yea and flushing it out doesn’t take long at all. Less than half the time of one outboard. It’s also a hell of a lot cheaper unless you compare it to a cheap John boat.
