Glastron 2014/15 GT187

[kmfisho]

Hi all,

I bought a 2014/15 Glastron GT 187 with a 250 HP Rotax (BRP/Seadoo- or whatever they are called). Have very little boat experience. It recently started giving ‘Low oil pressure’ message after which it goes into limp mode and does @5knts which allows me to get to the ramp but dangerous if the waves change rapidly because I will have little control. I have tried dealerships and repair shops for Seadoo and they have not been much help. The pressure sensors was said to be good?? Also when I start throttling I have to move the lever a fair bit before getting a response.

Please help with any suggestions/check/maintanance of how to get the boat up again. Its at @120 hrs.

Dis you measure the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge?

Checking the oil level on the oil dip stick ? Do any oil change ?
Those boats are bought to race around at top speed. Die early deaths.
