Will bad reeds cause bogging?
Engines with reed valves that are failing can present symptoms of hesitation during acceleration. The engine may fail to respond to the increased fuel flow and then jump forward as the gas is finally ignited. If too much fuel is poured into the engine and reed valves are failing, the result may be engine backfiring.

How long does a Yamaha Exciter engine last?
Used engines can be sourced from waverunners. There are so many of these engines and jet pumps out there that parts are widely available either as OEM or upgraded components. The 2 stroke engines are likely to need work around 400 hours while a newer boat with 4 stroke engines could run for thousands of hours before needing work.
Is the Yamaha Exciter good for rough water?
A LS2000 or Exciter would not want to venture into the Pacific on anything but the smoothest days. Very fun and fast boat. Cheap to rebuild and not hard to do yourself with a little mechanic skill. Not good on rough water. Both the rotax 2 stroke and the mercury eninges in the early seadoos are awful compared to the Yamaha.
How often should you compression check a Yamaha Exciter?
Even with the Yamaha 2 strokes I recommend compression checking regularly as it is much cheaper to catch things early and do a top end rebuild as opposed to a whole engine. Compression check all cyclinders before you buy used as well.
