I just picked one up yesterday. I'm going to get the marine epoxy today. Should have it all done by the weekend. Great install video man. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the help. I just installed it on my 24 rxt-x 325. Same thing, nothing even when adding the bucket though. I didn't want to wait until I took it to the lake, I took out the depth finder and stuck it over a bowl of water and it worked. On the 24 the depth is on the left guage in the middle. I hope this helps someone as your video helped me. Thanks!!
Nice! I’m glad this video helped you out. Yeah, the testing process to ensure the depth finder works is a bit strange. Thank you for your feedback. By the way, where are you from?
@@TheOceansideGuy nothing was showing up at all. Once I put it over water it just showed the depth on my left guage in the middle without me scrolling or anything, just popped up!
Hey Deric … Enjoy all your videos, appreciate the effort of explaining in detail to those of us with simpler minds I recently purchased a 2024 GTX 230 and would like to install the depth finder in the same manner In doing a preliminary check, I’m noticing a few differences in mine (Hoses & Electrical Connections) I’ll be reaching out to my local SeaDoo Service guys to ask about those and if they impact the installation (Online instructions are very limited & not up to date) I can report back any findings after my install
Hi, thank you for your feedback and info on your 2024 GTX 230. I would only guess that the insulation would be quite similar with the electrical connection which may be the only difference. I’m interested in what you find. Please let me know. Thank you so much for your support of the channel.
Getting ready ro do this myself. Did the gel sticker come with your kit? I've seen a need for a cup of water or somehing similar under the sensor for it to work. Bet your work and connections were just fine. Ive also learned if you plan to run a SCOM, you can't have both running to that data port. Speed control would need ro be removed at ECU so depth could use the data port. Thanks for the great video 👍
Great video, very informative and fun to watch. How deep do you expect your depth finder to work? My Seadoo factory installed depth finder shows bottom until about 800 feet, then blinks out.
Very very helpful. Neither the shop instructions or the user manual share that the display will not show the depth option UNLESS the depth transducer is in contact with water or similar. What a poor design. Shame on Sea-Doo for such poor documentation. Thank you so much for documenting what Sea-Doo did not.
Agreed. Not a lot of good formation out there. Glad you found the video helpful. I’m sure other people will need to see it. Share it if you can. Thank you for your feedback!
@@TheOceansideGuy ur welcome...Iv use both..PL will stay flexable..3m hard as a rock..5200 is permanent..4200 can be removed, but with same abilities..

You’re welcome! You gotta let me know how it turns out. Send a picture or two. Message me at my Instagram. the_oceansideguy
I'm watching this video for the second time. Because I can't believe how easy it is to install.
Thank you. Yup, its that EASY!

@@TheOceansideGuy Yeah I thought it would show something on the dash but maybe not the depth, nothing pops up though. We're in Bonney lake, WA
Do we the depth finder icon show up on your display?

I recently purchased a 2024 GTX 230
and would like to install the depth finder
in the same manner
In doing a preliminary check, I’m noticing a few differences in mine
(Hoses & Electrical Connections)
I’ll be reaching out to my local SeaDoo Service guys to ask about those and if they impact the installation
(Online instructions are very limited & not up to date)
I can report back any findings after my install

Hope to add one to my seadoo soon as well. Tampa bay intercoastals are shallow!
Great! Love the depth finder! Thanks for commenting! Glad the vid helps.
You could just use Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 Fast Cure correct.
Yes, it’s marine grade so I don’t see why not.
Nice, now you should add a different wheel in the supercharger to make more boost!
Thank you!
Thanks for the vids dude they help a lots they charge way too much at the shop to get things done
You’re welcome! These videos help me and I’m glad I can help you and everyone else.
Thank you for your sub!

Yes the gel pad came with it. Just not the loctite. Thanks for the comment! Have fun! Glad my vid helped. Thanks for the feedback.

My Seadoo factory installed depth finder shows bottom until about 800 feet, then blinks out.
Glad it was helpful! Not exactly how deep depth finder will go.
@TheOceansideGuy hey Deric, are you available to help me setup up a few things on my ski? I can pay you for your time.
I know "this guy" (that's me) always exists...but man, this could have been a 7 minute video!
For sure. I really like to import all of these small and minor details.
Had fun doing it.

Thank you!
What’s with the audio? 75% of the video has no sound at all!!
Yes, I am aware of that. I am working on getting that fixed. Something happened with UA-cam.
@pete8016 the audio is fixed. Enjoy!
