Sure the light switch is with all the other switches by the steering wheel. Be sure the main power cut off is not on as that kills all the power to the boat. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide I am very new to this. Where is the main power cut off switch located? Near the battery/engine area or behind toggle switch panel? Thank you.
@@maryfranco9394 the courtesy light switch is the black switch just to the left of the steering handle bars (I show you in the video starting at 20:00). The main power switch is either on the battery or right next to it.
@@maryfranco9394 no problem. If the battery switch is on and using the toggle switch to turn on the courtesy lights still doesn’t work, I would check to see if the bulbs are burnt out. Good luck!
The Bimini top when folded all the way down, folds to the front unfortunately, You can remove the top completely (as in take it off the boat) if you want it down but not in your line of sight. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide Thanks. I looked at one that had the top down but I was looking from the ground level and not on the boat so it looked like it was in the line of sight.
@@ictpilotoh it is in your line of sight when it’s folded down, that’s what I meant. If you watch the video starting at 23:27 you’ll see us folding it down.
Good question but answer depends on how you use it, the weather, the amount of people onboard, if you’re pulling a tuber, how fast and how long you’re going that fast.
Thanks for the question. BRP has a weight chart for each size that includes weight for boat and trailer here sea-doo.brp.com/content/dam/global/en/sea-doo/my22/documents/specs-sheets/en/SEA-MY22-SwitchCruise-SPEC-DPS-ENNA-LR.pdf. Thanks for watching
That was my thought too. Here are a couple of other thoughts in case you’re buying one. If you’re going to store it in a garage be sure to look at the height with it on the trailer and the biminey top down (it’s on the same chart). Also ask about a lift (in case you use one, they will be different from a typical bi-tune. Just some food for thought. Thanks for watching!
Like any other pontoon or tritoon there are open areas under the plastic fencing for water to roll out easily, there’s also a bilge pump in the engine compartment. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide i’m saying that the boat has no scuppers and if it takes on a lot of water at one time it’s only got one little pump, but that’s what I was asking about case you wanted to know, but I guess I don’t use the boat in the bay or the ocean I would use it in Florida myself
@@georgeniebergall7074yeah there are no scuppers on it. I would think that the hollow pontoons plus the center hollow pontoon would only allow for momentary swamping of the boat. My guess is the pontoons would hold it up high enough to drain. It’s kind of like trying to drown a raft with three pontoons under it, might get overwhelmed for a moment but would then resurface and drain. Just my thoughts.
@@TwoGuysandaRide Yes, but there are a lot of compartments underneath all of the flooring matter fact there’s a compartment under everyone of them things that they plug in so imagine if they leaked and that filled up and may be a problem. I don’t know. They had another one a while ago I seen that had skis on it. It was really cool , it had an outboard motor on it. I wish I could find out again because I think I would buy one.
@@georgeniebergall7074yep that could be a problem. I guess like any boat you try to use it in a manner that you won’t find yourself in a bad situation. I’d love to see the one you saw on skis.
Im not sure what “50PA” stands for but the 18’ seadoo switch cruise w 230 hp on seadoo website starts at $40,699 without any additional packages being added except the 230 hp motor. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
I just bought a 2023 21' cruise. I wanted to mention three BAD things about these to all who are considering it. 1) The bimini folds forward so it's in the way if you ever want to have it down. 2) it stores TALL (greater than 8 feet), with the bimini attached and down, 3) boat lift must be retrofitted.
LOVE this Video? Click “$ Thanks” to show your SUPPORT. Thank you, Rob and Nathan.
This needs to come out with a twin engine steering wheel model.
That would be fun, thanks for watching!
I plan on getting there 320 horse engine and swapping. May have to buy whole ski to do it.
The motor functions well in lake water. Does it handle brackish and salt water as well?
Yes the can operate in salt water and brackish water. Thanks for watching!
I can’t get my courtesy light to go on. My boat is new. Can you provide information to get the light on?
Sure the light switch is with all the other switches by the steering wheel. Be sure the main power cut off is not on as that kills all the power to the boat. Thanks for watching!

Which the Bimini top folded back so if you didn't want it up at all it wouldn't block your forward view.

@@TwoGuysandaRide Yes I did watch the video and saw it folded down. Wish they could have done it the other way so you can see with it down.
What is the Miles per Gallon on the Sea-Doo Compact??
Good question but answer depends on how you use it, the weather, the amount of people onboard, if you’re pulling a tuber, how fast and how long you’re going that fast.
How do you get on and off the boat while docked? Does the canvas come apart?
It has gates like every other pontoon on the market, front, side and back. Thanks for watching!
Front only from what I have seen
@@RedEd1969 They all have back gates as well. Depending on the model you may have to take a few screws out and add brackets from Jetboatpilot
O M G. Stay home.
It depends on the seat configuration
Lots of talk about motor needing lots of maintenance. Any input on that point?
Not at this point, but maybe some other owners will chime in here. Thanks for watching!
Very interested in maintenance requirement as well@@TwoGuysandaRide
🇺🇸 I had a Kawasaki Jet Mate ! ….. 🔥 it was great but this is better !😎
This thing is so much fun! Thanks for watching
Omg
Can I tow the 21’ cruise behind my 2013 Jeep Rubicon that has a 3600 pounds tow limit ?

I was just quoted $35,000 for a 2023 Sea Doo Switch Cruise 18 50PA 230 hp caribbean blue is this a fair price?

Nothing is fair priced anymore.

A little research goes a long ways.
Yep w the Bimini stowed it is still too high to fit into a standard garage
Waaa, adapt.
