Well, I blew the base gasket on my stocker. I have an 06 sxr which has a totally stock motor. I did not even rejet because I didn't want to wrench on this boat. I bought the boat back in mid april and put about 15hrs on it while I was putting my limited back together. Limited was finished is the begining of June so the stocker just sat. I went to Ocean City, MD for 2 days of riding and rode the stocker for 3 tanks the 2nd day. 2 for bouys and 1 for the surf and the boat ran great. I beat the hell out of it, running WOT for 15-20mins at a time. Carving turns like mad just having all and all good time on the boat. I opened the hood after flushing and saw some oil residue next to the pulse fitting. After looking closer I saw a peice of gasket sticking out. I used a probe and can move the gasket. Now, I'm not sure if I sould bright it back to the dealer or just fix it myself using a metal core gasket like I use on my limited. What do you guys think?
I've riden this boat real hard for the 17-18hrs that are on it but it still shouldn't blow. The whole reason I bought this boat is to not wrench on it. Oh well...... life happens
