All supercharged Sea-Doos running the same 1630cc 300 ACE engine - regardless of the hull or trim package - come limited from the factory. The Watercraft Journal details these restrictions and shows you how (with the help of THREE SUPER EASY modifications) you can "unlock" your Sea-Doo's hidden potential - all without ANY cutting, drilling or permanent modifications.

About to purchase 2022 rxtx triple black- going to get these asap. I’ll ask dealer if they are cool with me doing these and bringing it in without pulling out the scom every time. Also thanks for all your videos. I watched like 30 of them last night and took lots of notes helping me understand this particular ski. Super helpful and well layed out. Going to look for a break in video on your channels so I do that right. The shallow water start warning and the carbon seals were great ones to watch as well as the gas and oil recommendations.

Awesome! Glad that they were helpful!

Kevin, I have a newb question - what about on the GTX 230? I installed a JP Racing Oil catch can - is there a need for SCOM override module on the 230 engine?

@watercraftjournal 2 года назад

No. Kevin did a video on why 230's don't need a SCOM. Check that one out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZpLrugr7W1g.html

@johnleight9010 2 года назад

Great video Just waiting for my 22 rxtx to arrive Do these mods affect the seadoo warranty

@watercraftjournal 2 года назад

Depends on who your dealer is, and if you follow Kevin's instructions about the SCOM.

@tracyenlow8344 2 года назад

Kevin, I noticed that you applied silicone around the entire perimeter of the mounting plate. The instructions from Riva only mention putting the sealant around the bolt holes that you are using to seal off the hull penetrations. There is a drainage hole, so I guess Riva has no issues with water behind the plate. Why did you alter your install?

@watercraftjournal 2 года назад

Did he? Are you sure? He ran RTV around the perimeter but NOT blocking the drain holes. It's an added step to reduce water intrusion.

@donaldwest9103 Год назад

Thanks for this information. I've gotten a lot of great information from many of your videos. Question? I have a GTX 230/2021. I have added the Riva Sponsons and the Riva Intake Grate. I have the sponsons on hole four per your recommendation and they have helped immensely in my rough water tracking and flat water turning. Could I also put the Speed Control Override Module and the Catch Can on my GTX? 100% saltwater use. Top Speed is usually around 64. Thanks again for all the information you provide. Love your live podcasts.

@watercraftjournal Год назад

Catch Can? Yes. SCOM? No. Think for a second: what does the SCOM do?

@@watercraftjournal Thanks for the reply. Took me more like five seconds on the SCOM but I got it. Have a great year ahead to all at the WCJ.

@Rozilac98 2 года назад

@watercraftjournal 2 года назад

Most dealers will frown on the SCOM, thankfully it’s 100% reversible within minutes and nearly undetectable by most dealers.

@OhhNo50 2 года назад

My 22 rxtx should be in soon. Have you done an updated video for must haves for 22? 90% of my riding is fresh water big lake with 3-4 ft chop. Very little turns.

@watercraftjournal 2 года назад

Set them at #3

@espritmike 2 года назад

You say the Riva part is the same for the '21 RXPX (T3R) and the '18 up RXTX (ST3) . Is the '18-'20 RXPX (T3) the same or a separate number?

@jasonohare3557 2 года назад

Excellent video as always Kevin, thank you! I’m having sponsons and catch can fitted to my RXT 230 this week :). Do you also recommend a Riva intake grate for all 230 ST3 models (I assume the new RXP doesn’t need one)?

@michaelmcgowan764 2 года назад

I bought a 2022 rxtx, and just ordered a scom, oil catch catch and pro series sponsons. As an additional option from dealer I added a depth finder that displays depth on the seadoo gauges. Does the SCOM and add-on depth finder work together ? Online I've read conflicting statements.

@watercraftjournal 2 года назад

The depth finder should not install in the the same diagnostic port as the SCOM (unless something was erratically changed for 2022 that we've never heard of).

@michaelmcgowan764 2 года назад

@@watercraftjournal thank you

@michaelmcgowan764 2 года назад

@@watercraftjournal I had emailed Riva before messaging here and just got a reply and they stated this "Unfortunately due to programming in the Sea-Doo 2019 and later instrument cluster, only the module plugged directly into the diagnostic plug on those units will actually be recognized and function. Any additional modules daisy chained onto the one directly connected to the plug will not be recognized and will not function. So you can have either the SCOM working or the depth finder working, but you can’t have both at the same time." Just to clear it up it doesn't seem to both work

@williamclark2807 Год назад

hey Kevin- just got the 2022 GTX Limited 300 and 2022 GTR 230 - wanted both hulls and for other buddys to ride with me. my question is this - what are the cons for having the riva racing sponsons? Maybe control or ability to tail straight if it is wakey out? I'm just wondering the CONS of adding the high quality racing sponons and why SEADOO wouldnt go and do this in the first place if they were much better. I get the concept for sure in calm water for performance but how would it be on my GTX LIM 300 and my GTR? (doing the catch can for sure)

Yeeeaaah! I've went just a little bit further 😏. Currently (2/1/22) working on Riva stage 3 tune on my 2021 GTX 300 limited. Doing air intake mod, catch can, free flow exhaust, riva water box, injectors, repitched prop (by riva), map tuner X tunes and power air filter.....which, for anyone thinking of doing the power filter, it's a bi$ch! By far the most difficult of all things I did. Unplug all wiring, ignition coil, injectors, ECU, gas tank sensor, starter relay etc etc, then remove storage compartment to have better access to air box. Remove air box, then put it all back together 🤬 with new bracket to mount hardware on! ECU, fuse box, coolant reservoir, starter relay etc etc. And i didn't even cover the actual power filter install.......It's a job! Forget that 4hr time Riva says on their site.
