It can also be that the engines are not close enough in sync. They need
to be running close to the same rpm or it will pull. Since you have a
tach problem it's hard to tell if they are running the same or not.

I don't know much about the Speedster, but most boats are sensitive to
loading. If the boat is pulling to starboard, ask your wife to take the
helm, and you go to the port side. How's it ride now? The smaller the
boat,
the more sensitive it is to loading.

The bilge blower and bilge pump have never worked according to the
seller

Bilge blower... Get it fixed ASAP! That's a fundamental safety item,
that
must be functional. Starting the engines with the bilge filled with gas
vapors from a leak, or whatever will ruin your whole day... or life. Fix
it
before you take the boat out again.

The bilge pump... while not as catastrophic, will ruin your day as well
if
it's not running, and you need it. Personally, I would not go out if my
pump
was inop. Both the blower, and pump are easy remove and replacements.

The left RPM gauge has some moisture in it and as such seems to be all

over the place.

Swap the connectors for the tachs and see if the problem remains on the
left
tach. If it does, then the tach is fubar. If the right tach all of a
sudden
shows the same problem, you have a more serious problem elsewhere.

Can't help you with the leak, as I'm not familiar with the SeaDoos. I'm
a
Yamaha jet boat guy. ;-)

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice. Any idea what the blower will run?

I have the complete shop service manual for that boat. I suggest you email
me and buy it! Actually, a friend had one, and the manual is listed on
Craigslist right now. It is in a three ring binder and covers all three
models for that year. Dan
