You talking about that fabric piece on back of the hard top?
Why is that there? Tow sports or something? Sun for driver?
I don't have the hard top, but instead its all fabric. Yup, the fabric piece is for sunshade and tow sports.
 
I uploaded a video comparison of flushing from the so called "exhaust flushout vs original flushout"
Let me know what you think.
 
So the Rotax engines sound just like the yamaha engines out of the water. A violently shaking can of bolts best describes it I think.

Is there a purpose/difference for these 2 flush outs? Not up to date on the rotax procedures other than not to over flush as can burn up carbon seals.

Honestly, I don't know . I took a video to see the difference but can't see one. I think the so called flushouts is when you have the boat on a boat lift for easier access.
 
Hello Jetboaters,

Yesterday I took the boat out and cruised along the coast. I uploaded a couple of videos (Q8 SCARAB)
I made sure to have the system diagnostics page on and saw that the boat was burning 33-24 gph @ 8000 rpm
I would have loved it if the tank was atleast 100 gallons instead of the standard 56 gallons
My Boat's twin 250's topped at (54-55mph) whereas someone's twin 300's topped (59-60mph)
