I just purchased this Sea-Doo on Saturday, had multiple test drives including the first one where a cooling hoes came off (rusted hose clamp) and I started taking on water. First time in 59 years that I have been on a jet ski but I have watched enough youtube videos of people sinking jet skis, that I got the ski to land quickly and we were able to fix it.
The GTI has 150 hours on it and and when I was out riding yesterday (3rd ride of the day) it just quit. No power, no sound, no gauges, nothing. Played with the magnet key but still nothing. I only have this one key.
Paddled back home... that was fun and started testing. All fuses good, tested with ohm meter. Tested the 30 am main fuse and it was good too. Tested the battery and it was fine, 12v.
I tested the lower positive terminal on the fuse box and it has 12v coming to it.
I tested the upper positive terminal and nothing, no voltage (one probe on the pos terminal and one on the neg terminal of the battery). Not sure if that is normal to not have voltage there.
Would it be a problem with that 30 amp relay attached to the fuse box??
Since the motor would not run I could not flush it out and I am very concerned about that since I am in salt water.
Today at lunch I thought maybe 12 volt output on the battery was not enough so took it out and it is currently charging. My battery charger said it was 50% charged (not sure that means anything) but after two hours it is almost fully charged.
Will stick in back in a see what happens.
After reading several forum posts one thing I remember that stuck out, several owners hit the start/stop button without the key on and it seemed to do a re-set?? I have not tried that yet but will tonight.
Since I am new to jet skis and of course Sea-Doos I am open to any and all advice on all topics.
Thank you.
Matthew
