Thanks!

Was winterizing my GTI 2018 this afternoon and the antifreeze was leaking too slowly onto the engine (via garden hose and adapter). Sea-Doo threw at me a long beep after about a minute and I stopped it right away. Any harm done? I tried connecting my Candoo in it but I always get in trouble...

Out of curiosity, how many hours do you have on your engine?

I have that exact same model and there is no R. You should remove it!

I think your diagnostic is dead on. I just retried it three times and same result: engine starts for 1.5 second and then it stops fair and square. Then I remove the plugs and it is shooting water and gas and what’s remaining of the fogging oil. I spoke to the guy who borrowed it and he told me...

Yes I know. This year is a crazy year: no way to find a dealer that has time. People are left on their own. It is 24 hours already but most of the water is out and I added fogging oil last night. Now, from what I read, I should 1. Empty the intake, 2. Change oil a couple times, 3. Try to start...

If I just fog the engine will it hold a week or two until it gets to the dealer? Is the intake the big black box just under the handles?

Shouldn't the oil be grey if it had been contaminated? I am fairly sure that the water didn't go in the manifold because the Sea-Doo was docked and even if it was deeply in the water, the water level did not reach the intake. But I am not ruling it out also. I am so happy this is not my ski...

Yes, thanks. I actually was able to crank it this morning and with new plugs, I even started it for one second although it stopped right away. I removed plugs again and there still seems to be some water in it. I don't know why it drowned but I suspect the carbon seal. This is not my Sea-Doo and...

It wasn’t sunken but it had a lot of water inside the bay and it was impossible to know if there was water in the engine. So basically you’re telling me that there is water as well in the exhaust. So with a flooded engine that now turns without plugs, you’re sure that the exhaust is filled as...

At 8:00 PM tonight I noticed that the Sea-Doo next dock to mine was sunken (a rented cottage). It had water over the engine. I alerted the owner right away and him and his friend drained the engine bay with a bucket. Once it was afloat, they put the key and gave it one crank but the engine would...

Yes, they look nice. Thanks.

Do you have a link?

I need a new cover for my GTI LE 2003. I saw some cheaper ones and some very expensive ones. I am on a medium budget. What do you guys recommend? Shipping in Canada. Thanks.

That’s what I was thinking.
