Have you checked for a leak. I'll bet you there's water getting in somewhere. I've read reports of that happening to the Waverunner.

Sending it back to the UK is a very expensive option. There's a shop in Ireland that deal with remote controlled boats and toys. They may be able to sort it out for you.

Give them a buzz and see if they can help you. Worth a shot.

Ouch Sad Sounds like the gearing in the motor are knackered Evil or Very Mad

Get onto WaveRunner themselves via email and try and blag a new motor off them FOC I wouldnt let that go Mad Mad

And maybe as already suggested get Norman from GreenMarine Hobbys to have a look at it.

Good luck mate Wink

The boat has a two year warranty , it sounds like the motor bushing or bearing is starting to wear or break up. Remove the motor yourself and send it back to the distributer with a covering letter . I am sure they will send you a replacement .
The boat is a very simple mechanical construction with no mastic seals or impellers . The boat really does lend itself to the home mechanic with a little mecanical sympathy.
Be careful when rebuilding not to overtighten the screws a light touch is the order of the day .
