1995 gtx problem

[parrori1]

I have a 95 Sea-Doo GTX that runs great. Occasionally we had this beeping sound. I thought we disconnect the beeper and were ready to roll.

Problem: wife rode it a few minutes and come back and couldn't make it up on the pads. Lifted the seat up and the jet ski was filled up with water.

Anyone tell me the various things likely causing this?

Well the beeping sound could have been the overheating alarm.
The only way to pinpoint the leak is to run it in the water on the trailer and see where the water is coming from. Otherwise we are just guessing.

Thanks. That's actually on our to do list for next time we go to lake house.

Where the exhaust expansion chamber bolts to the exhaust manifold (chamber/pipe is purple, manifold is white) there are 3 bolts and a stud/nut. Sometimes one or more of these bolts break usually due to the nut backing off or the stud will break due to one of the bolts backing off or a split washer breaking. Cooling water will leak from this joint profusely when this happens. These needs to all be dressed with blue Loctite when assembled to keep this from happening.

Also check for a leaking freeze plug in the exhaust. There will be a couple freeze plugs welded in the exhaust expansion chamber, these have a habit of corroding and leaking coolant water.

And in general any coolant hose may have a leak. There are several. The first two I mentioned I've hard about quite a bit. Had the broken exhaust bolt happen to me once, darn near sunk it before I figured out what was happening. I check them often now .

Inspect the carbon ring/bearing carrier around driveshaft. Also, inspect the pump assy. Make sure you see 2 white protruding hoses atop the inside the pump..if not, need to install missing tube
