When Sea-Doo announced that they would be producing a new, budget friendly watercraft four years ago, many people became very excited. Although, when producing a budget friendly watercraft some parts are left out to reduce the cost. Currently if you were to go out and buy the least expensive Sea-Doo Spark it would have 60hp and stripped of niceties like reverse. Luckily Joseph Hamblen has created a YouTube video that show you how to install a Reverse Kit ($299) – as well as perform the steering system upgrade that was a recall during the 2014’s Spark production run (now standard equipment on all 2015-up Sparks).

In his video Joseph explains that he was quoted $500 for labor and $299 for the Reverse Kit. He figured that he could spend a few hours in the garage one day and take a video to help other who want to save money. We are not bashing Sea-Doo at all because you can opt to buy the IBR kit from them and have their great system work for many years to come. This Reverse Kit is a manual kit that is similar to older model Sea-Doos.

This video is a great example because you can easily follow along and work on your Sea-Doo Spark. Having reverse is a very nice accessory to have and a must have if you keep your Spark in a marina that may be tight. So with the holidays coming right around the corner and the relatives coming over, you may want to treat yourself and buy the kit. You may need to get out of the house and work on your Spark!
