It's a shame because the motor works, the worm gear turns freely, and the guage reacts properly to the position of the slide as I manually turn the worm gear and watch the nozzle go up and down (this is with the motor disconnected and removed) I've read elsewhere that some think this problem can be solved by jury rigging up some relays but so far I haven't seen any details before those threads were locked. Then there's the seemingly widespread opinion (reading other theads) that the module is a design failure anyway, so why fix or replace it since it's only a matter of time until I get to put more time and aggravation into fixing the same problem? From what I can tell, all the electronics are encapsulated in epoxy or something and since I don't know where the board and components are underneath, I imagine it's a crap shoot to grind the epoxy away without possibly doing more damage than good. Different strokes.įrom what testing I did, it looks like the VTS module is toast. I like the ability to tilt up the nozzle and stand at the back of the boat and do vertical turns, then turn the nozzle back down and do horizontal spins. I guess I could just hang my head out the car window at 60mph, throw a pail of water on myself and beat my head with a 2x4 and get the same thrill. It doesn't really do much for me anymore to just go flat out as fast as I can back and forth and see how much pain I can endure. I'd really prefer to have the VTS working (depending of course on the cost and amount of work to get it working). Give them some time they help many people all day but need to live also.Īlso I would become a premium member if you are going to keep the ski. I will watch this thread if the gurus don't post u the links soon I will look for them but I know these guys are great and have them ready. If u decide to do the job another member made a tool out of pvc pipe that you can make easily to remove the worm nut in rear to get the VTS module out.

The install directions are on this site as well. Then the switch then I bought a used one from Minnetonka on this site. In the end I checked the fuse first in the black rear electrical box. Taking the VTS module apart and fixing the module seems to be beyond the DIY unless you have some electrical background or a lot of time to digest the literature on it that I found on this forum. If u don't want it you can disconnect it and set it in the middle position. It allows me to adjust the doo ride according to the water conditions choppy smooth ect. First you have to decide if u like or really need it. I been where u r so here is my experience. Lots of info here on the VTS fix and why it breaks. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in the bottom of the case to let water OUT as the box obviously isn't as sealed as the gasket and boot should appear to make it.
Seadoo vts button how to#
Not sure how to get it off and then how to secure it back on. If the motor is working is there benefit to taking it apart while I have it out? The round cover over the worm gear appears to be a metal cover that is crimped on. I can't tell from the schematic if the fuse protects just the motor or all the power to the VTS module/motor. I assume the fuse is ok because of the clicking relay. So from what I gather the switches are working, the relay is working, and the motor works when connected directly to the motor. I disconnected the motor leads and jumped them straight to the battery and the motor appears to be working in both directions. I opened the VTS oval motor box and found a lot of water corrosion inside. When I press the up or down button, all I hear is a click coming from the VTS module.
