I have a 1995 Seadoo SP. And for most of the summer it was working just fine. The current problem presented itself after the SP was partially submerged. The bilge lines which are usually secured to the side of the inside well above the waterline had detached from the side and lay low enough that it began taking on water when my sister decided to sunbathe on it while it was anchored. By the time that I realized that it was taking on water, there was aprox 6in in the hull (freshwater). I was able to start the ski and run it to drain the hull, but since that incident, I can't go more than 30 or so seconds at full throttle without it dying. I took the below video the day after the incident. I took it out of the water the next day. Since than, I replaced the spark plugs and checked the electrical box for any apparent signs of damage (non found). I took it out once more since then. It made it the 5 minute idle out of the no-wake zone, although it needed a little throttle to maintain idle. It ran fine for about 1 minute at 75-100% throttle and then died the same way that it does in the video, I wasn't able to start it again after that and had to get a tow back to the ramp. Any suggestions on what to look for would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
