Thank-you for posting up the video, I found it helpful. We are finally getting our 2022 21ft 230 Switch Cruise on May 1st and I am currently buying the supplies needed for battery upgrade and the transducer. I will also be fitting it for rescue, I made the decision to purchase it after hurricane Ida and it surely would've been ideal during Ian for runs out to Pine Island, though my jet skis got it done.
i'd like to see some aftermarket competitors come on the scene. Seadoo accessories are crazy expensive. May as well be prada fenders or a gucci anchor they are selling. it's just ridiculous and the dealers SUCK
I don't recommend the LinQ Fenders. The rail clips used to hold the fenders onto the Sea Doo are hard to put on and they flip off unexpectedly. When the clips come off so does the fenders.
Thanks so much for the video. Excellent resource for new Switch owner. One question. Where and How does the anchor rope attach to the switch? Is it attached in the anchor locker at the front of the boat or should it also be attached to another point on the bow when deploying the anchor for use out on the water? Thanks so much.
No problem! the anchor attaches to the switch itself just inside the lid. i'm sure you found that out by now. it's manual to remove it and throw it in the water, but there are auto systems people made so far!
Sure! Basically if you buy just the removable panel, a bow mount trolling motor connects with 4x bolts. If you have a place milled or made to sandwich on the panel away from the spinning mechanism that connects the link, theoretically you can connect it and remove it as needed. The foot pedal from there just can be laid on the ground. This has actually been done already, but slightly different to how I'd do it.
@we try Motorsports Thank you for saving me thousands ! on the the stuff which is either not needed or doesnt work ! Now at least I have an Idea of What to Order with Boat. If you dont mind please share name of your dealership who offered 20% on Accessories and the person to talk to. This will save me lot of Legwork and Hassle of bargain. Thanks Again
Thank you for watching! the dealership you bought your boat from will offer you a discount. my dealership will not offer you a discount unless you bought a boat from there. ask them and they should be able to help you. best of luck my friend!!!
it would be certainly worth trying. i've never heard real good protection items against the plastic, but email me a link in my profile and I'll look into it. thanks!
the mooring cover is absolute trash. fitted covers are starting to be made by 3rd party source that are WAY higher quality. good part is, more 3rd party sellers are coming up with parts, so we're starting to see better items. now even better bumpers are out. i should do an up to date video on these now.
Ok the transducer is the depth finder sonar item. Since I have a sport compact, it came with the depth finder chart plotter fish finder already. It's just missing the transducer part where it sends sonar down. I purchased the transducer and mounted it on the boat. Some people run the old style one, I just didn't feel like drilling into the plastic at all.
You can get them on marketplace for half price slightly used. Also 800 is for the large cooler. Its like a big yeti. But you can add fishing rod holder and cup holders plus it comes with two trolling rod mounts from the factory. Still way overpriced.
Also the large linq cooler fits nowhere on the boat!!!! Do not buy! Its spread on the linq mounts is too large and does not fit on the rear swim platform or the one linq floor tile my boat came with. I really with someone had told me this before i bought the $800 dollar cooler that has to be strapped to the side rail inside the deckspace and in the way of passengers.
It does fit, but you need to widen them slightly. The Linq cooler needs to go in the rear mount on the swim deck, not inside. Never hurts to ask the forums, groups or people who have them before buying. Also, most dealerships will accept returns no issues.
@@WeTryMotorsports yeah its un real. There as bad as Apple is with there 700 dollar caster wheels for there desk top lol. I bought some Atwoods fenders for my 21ft bowrider at Sam's for 12.88 they lasted me all summer and are still in good condition. I could buy 15 pair for the price of one pair from seadoo 🤣🤣🤣
I did not like the fenders....! I attatched them like they were pictured from seadoo and lost one day 1. Quick easy and much cheaper replacement was to get cheap switch clip for rail and 10$ white bumper from walmart. Put line through rail clip and tie a knot at desired height. 30$ for the set.
People who are putting them on incorrectly lose them. To each their own - the forums show you how to correctly install so you never lose. I've had them 16 hours on the boat so far, no loss.
These things suck. Clips come unattached super easily. Ended up inside the switch as opposed to outside as the manufacturer intended for fear of losing them. Don’t buy
@@WeTryMotorsports one of ours clipped on well the other clip simply mushed on the rail. The mush clip fenders was one in a day. Sea-Doo will not replace their bad clips.
@@rashick11 I have zero problems. however, there are lots of complaints but there are also just as many people saying user error and they no problems as well 🤷♂️ again, the silent majority don't have issues.
Not at all. I own most products that aren't from Sea-Doo. this video was almost directly after release, if you check the spreadsheet in the description it has been updated to mostly non-oem products
yup. terrible design. I own one and it sucks. get a fitted car cover or have somebody make a canvas one. there are people out there making them way better.
Chapters are in. Let us know your favorite accessories!
Hi. We're new here. Really like your YT. Where are the forums and blogs for Switch owners in addition to the community in your description?

Walmart and Temu have many things like fenders and covers for much less.
LinQ Lite fender clips do not work. We lost one the first day and Sea-Doo will not replace faulty clip on fenders even if defective!
Same thing here both of mine suck. If you reviewed the clip only while it’s in the water it’s not bad
Thanks … I’ll wait until they improve the design.
They are absolute crap... we lost one trailering and another at sea.
I’d love to see them fix the Bimini so it can fold towards the back of the boat instead of the middle!
yes! one of my biggest gripes for sure
You put the in-laws up front and then put the top down. Problem solved.
@@MR.TOYBOX 😭😭😂😂
Looking forward for the next videos
Bought these fenders and they don't click on to the front of the boat- only the back. Will be returning them.
I don't recommend the LinQ Fenders. The rail clips used to hold the fenders onto the Sea Doo are hard to put on and they flip off unexpectedly. When the clips come off so does the fenders.
some of people saying this, but I've never experienced anything like this. many people (silent majority) like them. I guess there was a bad mold batch

Do you mind sharing how you plan to attach a trolling motor to the LinQ panel?
Sure! Basically if you buy just the removable panel, a bow mount trolling motor connects with 4x bolts. If you have a place milled or made to sandwich on the panel away from the spinning mechanism that connects the link, theoretically you can connect it and remove it as needed. The foot pedal from there just can be laid on the ground. This has actually been done already, but slightly different to how I'd do it.
Please show picture of installed trolling motor.
will the swim deck fit the switch compact sport???
Yes! There are holes in the back you punch out and you slide the swim deck in. Worked like a charm.
Can you put a link to to community list?
it's in the description

Don’t they make a clear film with uv block? If they do that would solve the fading problem.
it would be certainly worth trying. i've never heard real good protection items against the plastic, but email me a link in my profile and I'll look into it. thanks!
That also tried to charge a surcharge on top of the price
what holy crap
Are there any surface treatments that could be applied to prevent fading from the sun
yes!! definitely use sun protection! I use 303 Marine aerospace protectant!
Seadoo accessories bun me out. The mooring cover is a nightmare

Do you recommend the transducer instead of the depth finder? And what is the difference between them?
Ok the transducer is the depth finder sonar item. Since I have a sport compact, it came with the depth finder chart plotter fish finder already. It's just missing the transducer part where it sends sonar down. I purchased the transducer and mounted it on the boat.

Over $800 for a small cooler just because it snaps in the floor
You can get them on marketplace for half price slightly used. Also 800 is for the large cooler. Its like a big yeti. But you can add fishing rod holder and cup holders plus it comes with two trolling rod mounts from the factory. Still way overpriced.

The Linq drybox doesn't either. The seats are too close and the only gap hits the seat.
@@WeTryMotorsports please more details on swim platform linq mounts "need to be widened a bit"
200 for some fanm frnders! Seadoo is a joke. Those prices are absurd
agree, at least there's some sort of discount. still, I'd choose them over regular ones
the real joke is the mooring cover lol

Don't buy marine equipment from Wal-Mart. You life depends on it, not your wallet

Don’t buy
never once have mine dropped. if attached correctly they do not fall. they or you got lemons

@@rashick11 still no issues with mine lol. maybe because I got them directly from a dealership? I've no issues at all
@@WeTryMotorsports I bought mine form the dealer. They filed a complaint with Sea-Doo and Sea-Doo refused to help.

So everything you have you got from sea doo? Booo

Sorry. Bad post. Unable to delete
@@WeTryMotorsports Can you make a video on products NOT from Sea-Doo. Sea-Doo products suck. I love the video!
@@dallasnash5415 sure good idea
Seadoo mooring cover sucks. Ripoff, about as useful as a pocket on the bottom of a sock and a nightmare to install. Worst design ever.
yup. terrible design. I own one and it sucks. get a fitted car cover or have somebody make a canvas one. there are people out there making them way better.
@@WeTryMotorsports I was told the seadoo mooring cover is highway speed rated though? Im about to pick mine up may need to look more into it
