Sea-Doo GTI SE Parts
Making waves is easy for everyone, but making those waves look great is only as hard as hopping up onto the 2009 Sea-Doo GTI 130/155 hp SE models from the Canadian-based company.
The adventures begin with performance, styling and comfort from the ‘Special Edition’ models in the ever-popular GTI line. Having custom coloring in the appropriate named ‘Abyss Blue’, Sea-Doo’s extras on the GTI line make a fun ride even more so. So let’s get deeper into the recreation segment of Sea-Doo’s personal watercraft world.
The certifications on the GTI models read like a master’s degree. One of the most coveted certifications is from the California Air Resources Board or CARB. This certifies Sea-Doo watercraft in a 3 star rating for ultra low emissions. This certification alone is a great score for Sea-Doo engineers. The Rotax engines in the Sea-Doo watercraft are also among the quietest on the water. Sea-Doo has named the system that helps keep its PWC line quieter as the D-SEA-BEL system. This is great not only for the future of personal watercraft but it makes a day of riding more enjoyable as well.
As with the standard GTI 130 you get an incredible ride that is more stable and drier than the competition. The Hull of the GTI 130/155 has same characteristics as the standard model but with a little more flash. The FRP construction makes the hull easier to maintain which means less money out of pocket. The FRP construction also makes this craft stronger and lighter. These hulls are a Progressive-V composite design, which is wider and flatter to provide great results in rough water. This means that beginning riders as well as old school veterans will feel more comfortable on the water and more confident in their machine. The GTI line is made to suit all level of skills and that makes everyone smile a little bigger when pulling away from the dock. Get on board the ‘cruise ship’ GTI SE and you’ll find custom-sewn seating that offers better lower back support for its rider. These models have three passenger capabilities. There is a strap for the middle passenger to hold on to and hand holds for the third to make everyone’s day enjoyable. The seating is two toned with a silver color added to the Abyss Blue, making this craft stand out in the crowd.
Looking to the controls of the GTI SE model we find many similarities to the standard model, but with a few more extras. The chrome fairing over the digital dash is our first major indicator that this is a SE model. Then you’ll notice wide mirrors that can be adjusted to get view of the action behind you. There is also a small chrome cap on the sealed carry compartment just above the open handle at the front of the machine. The footwells sport new and upgraded mats that provide great looks, extra comfort and a non-slip surface for aggressive riders.
A fold-down reboarding ladder on this model makes getting back up into the driver’s seat after a swim much easier. And as you reboard the GTI SE model you will notice a very well engineered ski rope eye right below the seat on the rear of the machine that will provide towing capabilities. When docking the GTI SE you should have total control as the reverse lever is on the left side of this craft under the bars. This makes controlling the gas easier as you won’t have to take your hand off the bars to put the GTI SE into reverse.
As for engine choices for the GTI SE models, you get to pick between the 130hp version and the 155hp version. These both are Rotax 1494cc 4-strokes with a single overhead cam and four valves per cylinder. These engines are multi-port fuel injected for a crisp throttle at any altitude. Both have the closed loop cooling system, which means less possibility of contamination to the body of water you are riding in. This will also prolong the life of your engine as it doesn’t require water from the lake or stream you’re in to cool the engine so none of the contaminants therein will go through the engine.
The propulsion system on the GTI SE models is a Sea-Doo direct drive, which delivers optimal performance with the Rotax engine. You have forward, neutral and reverse on these machines and this makes maneuverability a cinch. With other items such as a stainless impeller, replaceable urethane wear ring, aluminum stator vanes and dual automatic vacuum siphon pumps the machine can self sustain in most conditions.
The new GTI is fast and durable, but that doesn’t mean you won’t need the occasional replacement part. Sea-Doo GTI parts are available through seadoopartcenter.com. We have the Sea-Doo GTI parts that you are looking for to get you back on the water.
