The #SPARKSOMEFUN Test Ride Tour that played an integral part in the historic launch of the Sea-Doo Spark watercraft is now complete. After 33 weekend events across North America the excitement for the new Sea-Doo Spark is peaking as the heart of summer has arrived. The #SPARKSOMEFUN events provided nearly 3000 watersports fans the first hand experience of test riding a new Sea-Doo watercraft to see what model best fits their needs.
Quiet Waters Park – Pompano Beach, Florida
Three Sea-Doo event teams produced weekend events at popular boating areas, working with local BRP dealers to build an experience that gave consumers a taste of what the watercraft lifestyle is all about. Guests were treated to festive events with expert instruction from passionate and knowledgeable Sea-Doo watercraft specialist. The Sea-Doo staff supplied all the riding gear to ensure guests were safe and comfortable during their time on the water. The #SPARKSOMEFUN course was designed with inspiration from video games with large oversized inflatables to build a course that was fun and easy to follow.
Folsom Lake – Sacramento, California
The Sea-Doo Test Ride Tour began in April in South Florida on the heels of the Miami #SPARKSOMEFUN event with deadmau5 and David Garibaldi. That momentum carried through to the Miami Test Ride event, taking place at historic Miami Marine Stadium. Following successful events in Pompano Beach and Tampa, the Miami event proved to be the season’s most popular in terms of participation with over 240 guests test riding the new Sea-Doo Spark. As Spring weather made its way north, the tour teams followed with events in Texas and Arizona before heading up the east and west coasts and into the great lakes regions.
The event venues varied from small private lakes, to large lakes, to rivers and bays. No matter the venue the goal was the same and that was to give guests a full taste of the fun they can have by owning and riding a Sea-Doo watercraft. BRP believes the best manner to pick the right watercraft for your needs is to, “try before you buy.” With the #SPARKSOMEFUN tour visiting new markets such as San Francisco, Seattle, and Quebec City to name a few, the sport of watercraft riding was exposed to an entirely new generation of boaters.

Question regarding just having a battery installed that didn’t have adequate Amp output. Can that cause a Plaque Armature Plate Stator to fail and need to be replaced? Can replacing the battery with adequate amps be a remedy without the cost of replacing stator? This machine was ran about 3 hours with the incorrect battery replacement. It ran as normal, but now does not have the RPM/Power, but will start and run.
Hello, please contact your local dealer with this question. We cannot diagnose things online and they are your best resource for assistance. Or, you can always check the forums, such as greenhulk.net or pwctoday.com. If you are unclear as to where you local dealer is located please use our Dealer Locator. http://www.sea-doo.com/content/seadoo/en_US/dealer-locator.html/
Stator is being replaced as we speak. My only question at this point is if a new battery installed does not have the adequate amp output, plus the battery manufacturers specify a battery with more amp output and higher cost.
The person that put in the lower cost battery claims that the battery would not be a cause for the stator stage that is charging portion to go bad. The dashboard indicated “12 Volt Low” and a longer beeping sound was be emitted about every 2-3 minutes. The manual makes no mention of that beep signal or read out. It had adequate oil and fuel.
The authorized dealer I took it to claims that improper battery was the cause and I wanted to have another opinion to validate the issue. Yes, I intend to try and pursue the cost for the stator replacement from the person that installed the improper battery.
This machine has 147 hours on it.
