Author:	Topic: 2001 GTX RFI Rectifier Issue??
rwilliams	posted: 10/16/2012 1:44:54 PM what tip of shut off switch did you use Thanks for the info
69boss	posted: 10/15/2012 9:47:04 PM Friend did put a switch on 2 of his, works fine. Only problem that could develop is if you introduce excessive resistance into the circuit. Use a good switch, decent size quality wire and lugs. I would solder the connections but it might not be necessary.
LB	posted: 10/15/2012 7:07:31 PM I put a battery shut off switch on my 2000 GTX RFI to fix a similar problem as yours.
rwilliams	posted: 10/15/2012 6:44:01 PM i have a short some place my battery dies with ib a week . When i put a new battery in and run . The battery shows it is charging But when i come back with in a week its dead Has any one ever put a battery bypass with on. t\to shut off battery supply while not running???????
rwilliams	posted: 10/15/2012 6:41:15 PM has anyone put a battery bypass switch on before
Matt Galligan	posted: 9/5/2012 9:25:53 AM I have replaced the rectifier twice in my DI. It sounds familiar.
TLR	posted: 9/3/2012 11:05:52 PM but I don't have a way to check the voltage. voltmeters are about $10 at harbor freight
Tiny	posted: 9/3/2012 9:25:06 PM The regulator/rectifier is a VERY commonly replaced component on the RFI and DI watercraft... They are about $175..Do what LB said and check your voltage when it is running..as long as it is over 13.2 but not over 14 your ok
knoland@cyberlodg.com	posted: 9/3/2012 8:52:20 PM I was told by a SeaDoo mech (heard he wasn't a very good one) that it was a stator / rectifier combination, but would cost like $900. The rectifier sounded like something I could do myself, but I don't have a way to check the voltage.
LB	posted: 9/3/2012 8:15:46 PM MIne would run ok,the RFI seems to be hard on electrical systems.
knoland@cyberlodg.com	posted: 9/3/2012 6:54:33 PM so did you have the issue with power? my ski won't go faster than about 30 mph.
LB	posted: 9/3/2012 6:32:22 PM Check the voltage with it running,i believe it should be about 13.2-13.4 volts,iv'e replaced my rectifier. twice
knoland@cyberlodg.com	posted: 9/3/2012 2:30:45 PM I have a 2001 GTX RFI that I bought brand new and have had excellent luck with. Two years ago it started eating batteries and flashing 12v low all the time. I kept putting batteries in and finally ended up having to charge it each time I wanted to ride for a few hours. Now it will only run at half speed. Is this the rectifier? Would that be an easy fix or is it the stator as well? Thanks everyone!
