With the Intelligent Braking and Reverse system engaged, the RXT-X 300 drops down off plane and stops with the driver in complete control, safely aboard.
Now in its second generation, Sea-Doo’s iBR is an advanced, electronically activated braking and reversing system that the company says can help stop forward motion 160’ sooner than a model with no braking system. It’s activated by a quick squeeze of the left-hand lever, and it also gives the rider better slow speed control, especially useful when maneuvering around the dock and it always starts in neutral for safety.
An intelligent throttle control, or iTC, provides the RXT-X 300 with three power delivery curves. Its selectable Touring/Sport mode offers throttle response settings that are optimal for two-up cruising, or more aggressive acceleration and mid-range power, respectively. And an Eco mode targets the most economical RPM setting for best economy. Finally, Sea-Doo incorporates Off throttle Assisted Steering, or O.T.A.S., that seamlessly provides additional steering effect when the throttle is released.
he new Rotax 1630 produces 300-hp from its 1.6L, aluminum block with increased efficiencies in friction reduction and engine cooling.
The new Rotax 1630 ACE (Advanced Combustion Efficiency) engine is 9% bigger than the venerable Rotax 1503 and creates 15% more power with a boosted 300-hp, according to Sea-Doo. The new engine has a longer stroke compared to the Rotax 1503, raising displacement to 1.6L and increases efficiency in two areas; friction reduction and better cooling.
A new protective plasma coating on engine cylinder liners creates a metallic layer that provides a hard and durable surface to withstand piston friction forces, improves surface durability, and produces better heat transfer and superior performance. A reengineered cooling system includes an additional heat exchanger and larger, more efficient engine oil cooler.
Performance
High performance is just one of the Sea-Doo RXT-X 300’s missions, and it delivers with gusto. The RXT-X 300 measures 139.2” (3.54 m) long, 48.2” (1.22 m) wide, weighs 914 lbs. (386 kg) dry, and holds 15.9 gallons (60 L) of fuel. At 8020 rpm, we recorded a wide open throttle speed of 60 mph. The most economical cruising speed proved to be 30 mph at 4480 rpm, burning 4.4 gph and achieving a theoretical range of 97 statute miles, with a 10% fuel reserve.
The new RXT-X is designed for large bodies of water and moderate offshore conditions.
An innovative hull Sea-Doo calls the S3 adds to the rider’s confidence and comfort in rough water. It has a deep-V center section to knife cleanly through chop, and has stepped sections on the wide outer surfaces to help break suction on the hull bottom. It is capable of satisfying performance, but also adds to the comfort of predictable running characteristics for longer rides.
Top speed for the Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 (2016-) is 67.5 mph (108.6 kph), burning 25.1 gallons per hour (gph) or 95 liters per hour (lph).
Best cruise for the Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 (2016-) is 30.0 mph (48.3 kph), and the boat gets 6.8 miles per gallon (mpg) or 2.89 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 97 miles (156.11 kilometers).
Tested power is 1 x 300-hp Rotax ACE 1630cc.
