2006 Sea Doo GTX Limited broken exhaust clamp

[8kgold69]

Riding a 2006 GTX Limited SC w/112 hrs broke the exhaust clamp that connects the rubber hose that to the exhaust pipe that runs through the hull. The rubber hose came off and caused the ski to start taking on water. Luckily was close to the dock. Parked the ski, went and got my trailer and vehicle. By the time I return to the ski it was 1/2 sunk. Did not start it but manage to get it on the trailer. Pulled the drain plugs out and let the water drain out of the boat. Got home pulled the dip stick to checked the oil and at the time there appeared to be no water in oil, oil was clear. Went ahead and changed the oil anyway and oil filter. Fired up the engine and white smoked started coming out of exhaust. I let run for a minute or 2 then shut it off. Checked the oil again with the dip stick and now the oil was milky white. Is the motor hurt?
I read that I need to do several oil flushes, with filters, start it, let run a couple of minutes after each flush and then drive it, may not have any issues.
Is this true?

SUBMERGED WATERCRAFT

NOTICE: Never try to crank or start engine. Water trapped in the intake manifold would flow towards the engine and possible cause severe engine damage.

1. Drain bilge.
2. If watercraft submerged in salt water, rinse the bilge with fresh water.
3. Check for water in the intake system. If water found in the intake system, refer to WATER-FLOODED ENGINE in this subsection.


So next time check your intake system for water before you try to start it. You probably sucked the water that was in your intake into the engine into the oil. That’s why it’s now milky.

So maybe download a service manual for your ski and refer to the water flooded engine subsection.

And it is true that you may not have any engine issues.

Thanks for the responds. It does start and run. No motor noise.
