Yeah I’m just lost at this point. I need to do a leak down test to make sure. And btw original 115 of pressure test was cold. It went up to around 128 when I re did it warmed up. The only time I was able to turn it on after running was when I took it out of the water the same day. So I’m going to test that again to make sure it’s not a fluke. It would sit tied to the dock for 6 or more hours and that’s all it needed. It’s gotta be a slow leak somewhere I’m sure
Ok, I think I know what happened.
We had a member who had water in his engine after he let his Doo tied up a boat dock. He had the nose pointed to the shore. The wake and waves from all boats cause a hydraulic pump into the back of the ski - same as if you towed it. And you can't tow it unless you pinch off the innercooler hose.
You might be ok unless you ran while it was hydro-locked.
Good luck.
