I have a SeaDoo Sportster 4TEC that is approaching 100 hours
of operation. I called the dealer today to find out what the scheduled
maintenance calls for at 100 hours.

The maintenance every 50 hours or 6 months runs about $225.
The maintenance every 100 hours or 12 months is about $800!

Reason:
The labor and parts to replace the "Impeller shaft seal, sleeve & O-ring."
Yeah, there's a call to replace the coolant at this stage, too, but I know
the big ticket item in this.

Has anyone done this and felt it truly justified?
Has anyone foregone this 'til 150 or 200 hours and not had an issue?

$800/year to maintain a SeaDoo?!
So much for maintenance free like ownership.
