New to PWC, but got he bug and purchased one for little money. The boat runs great, but the engine compartment fills with water a slow speed. Can anyone send a picture on one with all the hoses attached, I seem to have one or two that are not attached. also when running water only comes out of the left hole above the tow hook. Unless I take the wiring housing off I cannot see where all the hoses run or are attached.
any help would be great

check that all the hoses are correctly there and hooked up correctly. The one might not be spitting water due to a clog somewhere as well.

It sounds like you might have a split cooling line or bad clamp.
This might be a good idea for you.

Thanks for the reply, sorry it took a while for me had to run out of town. I looked at the printout you sent and tried to trace all the tubes. They appear to all be in place. Would you have a picture of the engine compartment behind the engine that I can use as a comparison.
I have two tubes that are loose, yet I cannot find a fitting they would go to . The one loose clear tube seems to run from behind the engine to the very front of the craft, but I cannot see where it goes for the white strafoam in the front of the craft.
I plan to put the See Doo into the water, take the seat off and see where the water comes from. Is this a good idea or dangerous?

Did you try running it out of the water on a hose yet? Could be hose, leaking exhaust, etc. Make sure you start motor first...turn on water...run for a few minutes (pump housing and bearings are not being cooled) and turn water OFF before you shut down engine. If you have no leaks than it may be a bearing or plug issue.

You could probobaly do that, just make sure the lanyard is attached to you or it may just go off without you. That would be bad.

I have run the craft out of the water with a hose, there was no leakage of water into the engine compartment. If you have a photo of the engine compartment it might be helpful to see how the hose should look.
Otherwise thanks for the support.

the O-rings on my drain plugs were split. they still stayed on the plug so i couldn't really see it, until i tried to remove one. then it just came right off. both side were split. i replaced those for 4 dollars and have been dry ever since. might be a good thing to check.
