97 XP Engine Identification

[Powersportracing]

Hey Everyone. I am new and pretty inexperienced. I have a motor with a 5015 on the side. According to manuals it says it should be a 5662.??? What do I have??? What is the correct numbers??? HELP. Thanks

someone probably swapped a rebuilt motor from another ski that came with a 787, the 97 was the only year in that hull that came with the 787, the next year on it was a 951.

So are you saying the number is not 5015 and should be 5662? Is that what your motor has on it? Thanks

Find the ROTAX tag (normally on the front housing) it will give you all the info you need on the engine. (black rectangle tag with silver/white imprints. But knowing your year/model ski. It should come with the 787cc engine.

So what is the 5662 number? Does that number also mean a 787cc engine??? Anyone have an idea what 5015 engine is for? Thanks

5662 is the model number for the 97 xp, and should be on the barcode sticker on the stern of the ski after the HIN number. If you have a number engraved on the motor it is probably and sbt serial from their rebuild or something. The sticker on the rear upper engine case has type 787 and lists the bore and stroke and displacement along with a unique engine serial which is also listed on my title.

thanks for the explanation. So no way to tell if the motor is the 787 if that sticker is not on there? Did sea
Doo come out with another motor that looks like the 787? How can i identify the motor without stickers and tags?

there was a later version of the same motor that was fuel injected, but the only motor that would fit in your ski without fiberglass work is the 787, and it's pretty distinct, factory motor is white, i think the SBT motors come in silver, cylinders canted over to the left side with RAVE valves. exhaust goes up and over and down the left side of the ski.
787, the purple pipe is because its a 96, 97 the pipe is white:
