Picked up a 97 speedster thats been sitting for a few years. Was wondering if someone could tell me where all the grease zerts are and what i need to check over on this boat before it hits the water. I am fine with engine work and all ready cleaned carbs and pumped out all the old fuel and oil. I have never owned a jet pump before so any help would be appreciated. Thanks all!!

Welcome to the seadoo forum Jesskidoo. Well you have a small project on you hands if you want to go from end to end and get that seadoo up to par for the water. It sounds like your on the right track already. Fresh fuel, cleaned carbs, new spark plugs and a new battery. Did you make sure you have no air bubbles in you oil injector lines, after replacing your injector oil? Do you get 2 beeps when you attach your lanyard on the DESS, (Digital Electronic Security System)? On the back of the engine is a black boot that covers the impeller going to the impeller. There is a grease fitting there. Pump synthetic grease in it till you feel friction. That model has RAVE, (Rotax Adjustable Variable Exhaust) valve system. These should be cleaned annually. I would get it fired up first and see how it runs first, and go from there. If you want to jump in you might want to join as a "Premium Member". Here is some info on being a premium member;

The jet pump system is very maintenance free in comparison. After owning a jet pump system, I'll never own a stern drive boat again!~ what a waste of money they were!
