Stupid Question

I'm totally convinced that if you have to ask that type of question that your going to do it no matter what advice is given to you. But I'm going to answer it anyway. DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!
DAWG

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been there.............done it!

I had a piece of thrash stuck in my pump, so I got going full speed! Let engine idle down while still going forward. Pulled it into reverse, and goosed the throttle ever so slightly.


CRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAPPPP!

I nosed it hard into the lake, the kids shoved into me hard from behind, we all were thrown off the seadoo.


We tried just once more........and laughed even harder that time!:hurray::hurray:

Ahhh yes, the submarine..:rofl:

I finally built up the testicular fortitude to do it this past weekend.. Safe? I doubt it.. Fun? Sure was.

Going no more than 20-25 mph and dropping reverse, the ski must have dove at least 5 feet if not more. It's very disorienting when that first wave hit you in the face. I could just imagine what would happen at full power.. Tho I wouldn't advise it.

Fun move for getting chicks wet, but other than that I won't be doing it daily.

Old tricks are still new!....

Before the PWC was invented (oh, oh, ...I"m going to show my age here) I had a friend who lived on a lake in North Carolina, near Charlotte.

He had a 21 foot jet boat with a 454 cu.in. high output big block engine with a Berkley jet pump. That thing would fly. I remember the first time I went for a ride, he had that thing floored. I swear when he hit a ripple, we'd fly out of the water 50 feet or more.

Well, just when I thought the "fun" was maxed out, he pulled it down into reverse. The nose sunk into the water and a big "greenie" (sailor talk for wave) washed over the deck of the boat, soaked me from head to toe.

I think that was the last time I rode in his boat. That was in 1979. So, doing a submarine in a boat HAS been around a long time, even before they were doing it in the yet invented "jet ski"...........:rofl:

Usually the rider is the first thing to break down after a costly repair and thrashing on the water... Like anything maintenance is the most important thing to do. Do you have a seadoo shop manual? If not here’s an idea for you. You could join as a "premium member". As a premium member you can down load a authentic seadoo manual from the seadoo manual library. In the library is a variety of manuals for almost all years and models. You can view as many as you like on line as a PDF file, or download it and print it for your personal and private use. There are operator manuals and repair manuals for you to do your own repairs on your seadoo. The repair manuals have everything from troubleshooting, repair procedures to winterizing. It contains wire diagrams torque specs and pictures for disassemble and assemble instructions. In the spec sheets it tells everything needed to maintain oil changes, spark plug gaps, carburetor rebuilds and impeller wear ring tolerances. Click on the "Seadoo Manuals" link at the top of the page for more details. If you need any help or get in a jam, we are always here to answer your questions too. Premium members get priority when it comes to getting quick detailed answers.
