Encyclopedia
The GTX is a personal watercraft (PWC) made by Bombardier Recreational Products
of Canada. Part of their Sea-Doo line of watercraft, the Sea-Doo GTX has been produced since 1994. It is a three person personal water craft (PWC) with a 'luxury' ride combined with a series of engines. The performance of a Rotax marine engine with R.A.V.E. exhaust, a three-passenger contoured seat; dual mirrors; deck pads; ski-eye; left-side forward/neutral/reverse lever; and full instrumentation.
Models available over the years have included the DI, RFI and Limited.

1998
Engine is two cylinder 782 cc RAVE with electronic fuel injection, essentially the same engine as the GSX RFI.
Bombardier Formula Jet Pump, with a stainless steel impeller pitched at 16/24 degrees. It includes a forward/neutral/reverse system that is activated by a lever located on the left side of the console, allowing use in tandem with the throttle, good for towing skiers.
The 123 x 46.9 inch, full-V multi-chine hull is made with fiberglass and features hooked sponsons on either side of the hull. Unique "Champagne and Ice White" color scheme and fake mahogany finish on glove box.

GTX RFI
Only a few minor changes. New electronic fuel injection
chip - improves high altitude and bottom end performance. Safe mode is less drastic.
The hull and deck are identical to last year. The two-part seat is angled in the driver area and offers well-positioned handholds for the passenger. The craft also features tilt steering (it moves from 30.5 inches to 33 inches). Same color combination as 1998.
Standard features include analog speedometer and tachometer and an LCD multi-function gauge that includes fuel and oil gauge, hour meter, low fuel, oil, voltage and overheat warnings, compass, trip meter and clock, air and water temperature, average and peak speed and various maintenance information. The gauges are recessed in the hood, in front of the handlebars. The craft also features dual mirrors and a true tow rope hook. Like all of Sea-Doo's models, the GTX features Sea-Doo's Digital Electronic Security System, which uses a lanyard fitted with a computer chip encoded with a specific code for your boat.
On-board storage includes a standard compartment in the bow with two twist-off watertight containers, a storage cooler underneath the back part of the seat and the smaller glove box on the console. Total Storage is 26 gallons (98.4 l). The fuel tank holds 15 gallons (56.8 l), with three gallons in reserve. (The reserve comes on automatically because of the RFI.) The oil reservoir is 1.6 gallons (6.1 l). For the redesigned 2002 model, both the DI and the 4-Tec have a 53 gal. front storage compartment.

Fuel injection
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an internal combustion engine. It has become the primary fuel delivery system used in automotive petrol engines, having almost completely replaced carburetors in the late 1980s....
