I installed the new battery yesterday ... Deka Power Sports ETX16L it does say 12V low when I hit the start button. mikidymac I agree it sounds like the starter
needs more power. After around 15 times the ski will start and run fine but I don't think it should take that many times.

Starter ? 1996 Sea Doo GTX - YouTube
This is the sound the ski makes when I press the start button. It will eventually start but it seems like the starter is not catching. Brand new battery installed as well.. The ski was re-built from top to bottom a little over a year...
I was thinking the same thing Soccerdad.... Glad I caught it in the driveway and not BOOM! on the water.
I will check and if need be replace the Ground. The ground wire is under a year old. Can they fail that soon? Also could it have something to do with the smaller ground wire that sits on...
Pic attached.....
Ski is running great.....
I took her out for a few hours and then when I went to remove
the Positive battery cable like I always do the ground cable looked like
someone took a torch to it? Any help would be great ... Thanks all....
Thank you all for the help and advice.
I sincerely appreciate it.......
Thanks to Rampage, hfgreg, LouDoo, ocod and everyone
else.

Ski has been rebuilt by a Pro.

By the way Rampage, Thank you for everything.
In and out of the shop. I think you and I are the
only ones who know the amount of time and $
to get this ski on the water.
