1995 seadoo xp bilge pump

[mallo1216]

Finally got to launch the waverunner! Ran great after she turned over, only thing was over night while she was docked, she took in alot of water. Is the bilge automatic or only while the ski is running? Saw it working while it was running, but never again. Water was filled to the top of the battery, had to pull her out of the water and the plug to drain it.

Some voodoo magic with the pump causes suction in of the bailer tubes excavating water out of the hull, only when motor is running though.

You can install an automatic bilge system but with the leak you have described the battery will be dead and you'll be back to ground zero.

My hx has the carbon seal, but if I'm correct 95 was the last year seadoo used a seal carrier bearing? and 96 and up they used the carbon seal.


I would check around that area. I'm sure more experienced members will chime along soon enough.

No bilge pumps don’t work unless you are going.

You can fill the hull with water when in the trailer to find your leak.
