1999 Sea Doo XP Limited Flooding trouble

[Harrison72]

Hi, I recently got my jet ski up and running and put it in the water Thursday, it ran fine all day Thursday and Friday morning. Today Saturday morning I woke up to the back half of it underwater. I started looking around it and found this hose not hooked up and wasn’t sure if any of these holes needed plugs, the 2 drain plugs were in. Thanks

That hose is your battery vent, if you look at the battery in your pic you will see a bump out on the front edge on the center of it. Feel under the bump out, there is a nipple there to hook that line up. Put the ski on the trainer, back it down the ramp and see where it starts to let water in. Could be the carbon seal, you will probably want to check it.

Thank you, is there anything I should do to the motor now that it has almost sunk?

Did water get into the engine? If so you need to run it on the on lake or river for a while to burn it all out.

have you ran it since?

I tried to turn it on but it wouldn’t turn over, there is water in the spark plugs

I think some water may have gotten in the engine

turn it over without plugs in to get most of the water out, then run it as long as you can so it all can burn off in order for you to salvage that motor
