1995 gtx seadoo protective hose on hull of propulsion

[fmciii]

Just bought a used 1995 gtx seadoo
even though it looks stable and secure , the hose that is attached with the two clamps to the seal carrier spins when I turn the engine on. Is this OK? I attached a photo from the manual about what hose I am talking about

That house shouldn't spin when the engine spins, I would check to ensure the hose clamps are tight, but more importantly does the floating bearing (shown on the right) spin freely on the driveshaft when the hose is removed, or for some reason are the 2 stuck together.

Check it out and let us know!

Thanks,

If the bearing assy spins with the shaft, the bearing inside is seized to the driveshaft...

Yep, and if it's seized to the shaft you ripped the plastic thru hull adapter and will need to repair it. If not you're going to take on water..........quickly!

sorry for late response
but I took the runner in the water the other day and the section of the hose unstuck and everything seems fine right now. The hose section I know needs to be stable, but I can rotate it. No leaks So any other advice would be awesome
