  1. Yes that's where my place is and they are the Club I have supported for the last 30 years. I far as finding volunteers, they have always had an issue finding people. The current groomer driver is getting long in the tooth. They need some young blood to step up. Good luck I hope it works out.
  2. For what it's worth.... Here is all the info on the DESS codes. DESS Codes/ Beeps2 Short beeps …the engine is ready to start1 Long beep …no communication to MPEM4 Short beeps… (on Jet Boats) Shifter is in gear8 Short beeps…defective MPEM1 Continual beep…engine over heatingAdvanced Self- Diagnostic ModeBy pushing the start/stop button 5 times, you’re putting the DESS in advanced diagnostics. When you have successfully done this, you'll hear 1 short, 1 long beep then, put on the lanyard cap. The engines should start if everything is ok.2 Short beeps means MPEM can’t read the lanyard cap or it has bad magnet. It could be a bad wire connection at the Lanyard switch.2 Long beeps means wrong lanyard or bad connection of DESS connection3 beeps signal the wiring harness of the DESS switch are grounded, or a short circuit somewhere.
  3. It's in your owners manual and/or can be found on-line....search around. Or just wait for the Puzzler he knows everything and apparently has got nothing better to do.......lol
  4. Yep, I said the same.....but there is no way that thing ran fine when it was stored, 13 mph...way more to the story....lol
  5. Me either.....Heading north Saturday for 5 days. I will put the batteries in the boat, the two watercraft and the Penguin....Hopefully everything works without headache......but you know toys..
  6. Pulling the drain plugs is but not spark plugs, unless you ask. Good to hear you are back up and operating as normal.
  7. Puzzyboy to comment............. http://www.snowgoercanada.com/news-events/latest-news/778-arctic-cat-awarded-triple-damages-of-46-7-million-in-patent-infringement-lawsuit Court rules that BRP willfully infringed Arctic Cat’s patents on safety technology June 14, 2016 06:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arctic Cat Inc. (NASDAQ: ACAT) announced that a federal court judge for the Southern District of Florida (Miami) awarded triple damages of $46.7 million USD in a patent-infringement suit filed by Arctic Cat against Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (TSE: BBD.B) and BRP U.S. Inc. Initially, a jury awarded Arctic Cat just over $15 million USD on June 1, 2016, after unanimously finding that the defendants willfully infringed all asserted claims in two of Arctic Cat’s patents for an innovative off-throttle assisted steering technology. Arctic Cat’s technology is an important safety mechanism designed to prevent on-water collisions and accidents in personal watercraft (PWC). Today, the federal judge tripled the damages in the case, due to the makers of the Sea-Doo jet propulsion PWC committing willful infringement. Christopher Metz, Arctic Cat’s president and chief executive officer, stated: “We are very pleased with today’s court ruling. The jury and federal court judge found that each of our patents in this case were valid, and agreed that BRP willfully infringed on our patents over the course of many years.” The suit concerned a long-standing safety concern in the PWC industry: the inability to steer PWC once the throttle is released, which can occur in emergency situations, particularly for inexperienced riders. Arctic Cat developed a novel and effective off-throttle thrust mechanism to make PWC safer. The technology provides riders with temporary “steerable thrust” when the rider turns in off-throttle situations to help prevent fatalities and injuries from collisions. The United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded Arctic Cat patents for this off-throttle steering technology, entitled “Controlled Thrust Steering System for Watercraft." At issue in the case were 151,790 model year 2009 through 2015 Sea-Doo personal watercraft. These models infringed 10 claims of Arctic Cat’s U.S. Patent Numbers 6,793,545 (“the ‘545 Patent”) and 6,568,969 (“the ‘969 Patent”). Nicholas Boebel of the law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP and Aaron Myers, Niall MacLeod and Diane Peterson, co-counsel at Kutak Rock LLP, represented Arctic Cat at trial.
  8. That explains 13 mph top end....
  9. Wow different prop too? You should list everything that changed since last fall and work backwards. There is no amount of speculation that can help your problem until you know what you have now.
  10. Then clearly they dropped the ball. They owe you the better part of 1700 dollars and an operational boat. Go after them or bill them for work done. They know exactly what happened with your boat, it was in their hands.
  11. What a nightmare.....for the record, I assume it ran fine last summer?? However, now after sitting exposed to rain and snow.......not to mention the fuel system was found empty the boat now runs like shit......
  12. Poncho

    seen worse

    Justine get a selfie yet???
  13. Start by draining and drying the hull. Nothing like leaving a boat outside uncovered and protected in the rain and snow......once done baseline the engine. The usual fuel, oil, spark, prop, lower end......find a new Marina after you send them the bill.....
  14. Remember at the time we had a Communist Prime Minister......Oh wait......what's his kid up to?
  15. A lot were looking for work and opportunity......it was a start for some. We had a few guys at work that got their start in aerospace after having served with the US in Vietnam.
  16. For sure....he ran away, no less than 25000 Canadians vointeered for Vietnam....draft dodger Ali...no argument here
  17. Firearms have no place in this country....
  18. All this talk about trannys and hard on, is driving Stevie crazy....
  19. It is no different than the real estate market. Plenty of hypocrites on here.....if there is money to be made people will exploit. Look at the Climate Change bullshit, exploit, tax and get rich. The Hip would be lucky to sell out if this shit didn't happen. All bullshit
  20. For sure they will, just your home is another tax grab. When is enough enough....between Wynbag and Justine we, especially Ontario, is fucked......but on a positive note Justine is flying the gay colours on parlament hill......what an insult
  21. The biggest problem with the boom market....MPAC will assess your property value. They just did mine again. My taxes have more than doubled in 10 years thanks to this lovely booming market.
  22. First sled I owned 1977 Polaris SS 340, first sled I drove was a 64 Skidoo back in 1965 or 66
  23. If it's a couple hundred it's worth buying the Odyssey IMO
  24. Does Odyssey make one suitable? I use one in the airplane and they are awesome. What are you using it for?
