  • 2007 gtx S.C. 215?

    Why is that a term grenade blow up. Or a joke.ha ha? can that happen? Can the cooling water that circulates through the exhaust get into the engine? Does the water circulate around the S.C.?

        When people say the engine could "grenade" or "blow up" they are usually just saying that there is a catastrophic failure causing major damage to the engine.
        If the supercharger fails on SeaDoo 4Tec engines there is a possibility for parts to fall down into the lower part of the engine which would cause catastrophic damage.

        There is no water flowing around the supercharger.

        If an excess of water gets into the exhaust pipe of any PWC engine it can cause major damage to the engine.
        This is why flushing of an engine has a specific sequence.
        1) Start engine.
        2) Turn garden hose on.
        3) Flush for time recommended by the manufacturer.
        4) Turn garden hose off.
        5) Turn off engine.

          Is there anything other that the 100 hour service that will prevent a catastrophic engine failure? Does higher speed driving for prolonged periods of time have any negative effects that contributes to this happening??????

            Are you trying avoid the recommended service for some reason?
            Catastrophic failure is not an absolute result of not doing the service it just increases the risk.
            And, yes higher speed creates higher levels of wear on every part of an engine.

              Thank you. service was completed at 100 hours. It was taken out . and sent to be serviced. There is now 115 hours. This is my first 4tec. Im learning. Do I need engine running to add anti-freeze into exhaust?or just pour in w hose and funnel until it comes out the back?

                ANTIFREEZING PROTECTION
                Supercharged Intercooled Models
                The exhaust system is self-draining, but the intercooler
                And manifold need the following protection.
                – Remove both intercooler hoses.
                – Let the intercooler drain, then connect the bottom
                hose.
                – Pour approximately 200 mL (6.76 oz U.S.) of
                antifreeze into the intercooler.
                – Then pour approximately 300mL (10.14 oz U.S.)
                of antifreeze into the exhaust manifold.
                – Reconnect the upper hose.
                CAUTION: It is highly recommended to pour
                antifreeze into the intercooler and exhaust
                manifold. Failure to do so, may cause severe
                damage to these components.
                CAUTION: Use only undiluted antifreeze (100%
                concentration). The premixed antifreeze available
                from BRP is NOT suitable for this particular
                application. Its concentration will be
                reduced when mixed with remaining water
                trapped in water jackets.
                NOTE: When available, it is recommended to
                use biodegradable antifreeze compatible with
                internal combustion aluminum engines. This will
                contribute to protect the environment.
                NOTE: The engine will not have to run during this
                operation but should have been ran before, to exhaust
                as much water as possible, from cooling
                system components.

                  The intercooler drains into what an empty bottle or bucket?? and the exhaust manifold is it the jacket around the exhaust manifold I want to fill?

                    Also in the spring whats the best way to flush it out? Its closed loop . Isn't exhaust manifold connected to intercooler?
