If your plugs are wet your cylinders are wet, not sure how long the water has been in your cylinders but the cylinders walls dont like water either.

The engine is not calfed yet, but you need to get the water out.
We got a lot of the water out. Still trying to drain more. We shot combustion cleaner in the cylinders and are letting it soak now.
 
The bike is firing now. We are shooting the water and cleaner out of the cylinders now. Oil is chocolate milk now. So we are draining it. I’m assuming I’ll have to change the oil twice.
 
I bought some semi synthetic to put it in to get the bike running. Fired up on the 3rd try. The oil is milky again. Gonna drain the oil a few times. Guess we saved it.

Make sure you have drained all the water out of the aforementioned systems are you will be spending a lot of money on oil, per the service manual only one oil change then the boil out procedure.
 
It got too hot in the garage so we're done for today. Pretty sure I have covid now. Really sick. But my syphon pump just isn't getting the oil out properly. I have a brand new one that we will try tomorrow if I feel better. We still have to take the intake off. I wanna remove the supercharger and get new bearings. It has the Riva kit installed. I'm wondering if I need to order a whole new kit. I'm just happy it started and ran. Didn't run it for more than 15 seconds.
 
Do not forget to pull all air the intake plastic ducts and rubber hoses to drain and look for water as well.
Start at the supercharger and follow the trail of hoses and ducts in the opposite direction of your intake manifold.

Glad to hear you have it running. Hope you are feeling better.

I recently replaced the supercharger heat exchanger (Inside manifold style) on my 2005 RXT. A very easy way to inspect for water and dry out the intake (without removing it) is pull the heat exchanger out of the intake. Buy new HE seals before you put it back in and grease them up prior to assembly.

If you have water anywhere in the intake system, it will gradually make its way into the engine which can prolong your efforts to remove it.

If you have not rebuilt the Super Charger before and do not have the tools for it, you may want to send it out. There is s seal (item #17) which should keep water from entering the bearings from the "air intake" side however I am not sure if the person (skiasylum) who mentioned a rebuild may be under the impression water coming through the oil could be trapped in the bearings.

Water flooded engine

Supercharger Servicing

If there is water in the oil or in the supercharger inlet hose, the supercharger should be taken apart, all components dried, the slip clutch needle bearings and shaft ball bearings replaced. Refer to supercharger subsection.

Per the Seadoo shop manual

I’m thinking if water is in just the inlet hose it still needs new bearings so the engineers must think water will somehow get past the seals.

pull the SC hoses,,water gets trapped in there,,,I use an extractor (same one for the oil),,,to extract water out of the supercharger,,,
i like to prop the intake butterfly open and raise the ski as high as possible to drain water out of the intake manifold.
