1999 Seadoo XPL leak

[Michigun]

Hi everyone,

So last year my buddy and I went out jetskiing, he fell off and couldn't get back on, he kept pulling it under eventually causing it to flood, I got it started again but now when I take it out water sprays out (picture attached) from under the black plate and out of the bottom of the gasket I circled.

I tried connecting a hose and started it but the water does not come out when I do that, only when I'm on the water. In this video

you can hear water inside of the gasket. I have no clue what is causing this leak. Any ideas would be helpful. If I left anything important out please let me know, thank you.

That is the boot that seals the shock on your seat. Remove the plastic cover under your seat and unhook the outer bellows then you will see where the inner boot attaches.

I think I figured out the problem, upon reading other post I saw someone who had the same problem and said if your anti siphon tubes are missing it takes on water, upon looking at my jetski it is missing both tubes, how do I go about replacing them?

Your ski also has a bilge pump that should be working.

Bilge works, as I posted above the anti siphon tubes were missing, could this possibly be the problem?

If the tubes are missing the ski can pump water into the hull. I would also fix the shock boot.

How easy is to fix those tubes and shock boot?

The shock boot is easy, just follow the manual.
The tubes are not available separately so you will need to replace the reduction nozzle if yours are missing.

I just called my dealer and they said they have the tubes SeaDoo Pump Bailer Siphon Tube 271001133 At Parker Yamaha.Com

You'll have to let us know how they work since they don't show as replaceable parts on the older diagrams.

Yeah I noticed that too when looking at the manual, they say to replace both of them even if you're only missing one. I will post back here after I get her out again to let yall know.

So I took my steering nozzle off but the siphon tubes don't pop into place like the guy at the dealership told me, do you know if I have to epoxy them?
