Driveshaft questions

I have a 92 GTX and I am trying to figure out if the engine siezed.

If I remove the intake grate, should I be able to turn the driveshaft by hand?

If so, should I be able to turn it freely or will it be difficult to turn?

If I can't turn the driveshaft and I should be able to, could the problem be something other than the engine being siezed (i.e. could it be a driveshaft bearing or something like that)?

Sorry for the long list of questions. Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks
 
Pull the plugs out and on the rear of the engine is a black boot with 2 clamps. Loosen the clamps and slide the boot back. The shaft should turn counter clockwise. Use your hands or a pipe wrench to turn the shaft. Be careful not to hurt you hands or the hull of the seadoo. The impeller shaft is not easy to turn but the shaft in the rear of the engine should be much easier to turn.
