Having some trouble with my 2009 Seadoo Speedster 150 155hp. Recently sucked up a tarp that was under water in the Ohio River into the impeller. I continued to drive about one mile, around 5 miles per hour (because thats all the faster the boat would go) before it finally shut down and would not start. A local man who repaired my boat said that I needed to replace my starter solenoid and he also said I needed a new oil filter. I took the boat out again to see if he fixed the problem and it ran great. The only thing I noticed was that maybe the RPMs seemed a little high (5800 at 25mph) and they seemed to jump from 5400 to 5800. Next day, I take it out again, shut it down so a friend could ski, and I could not get it started again. After a couple attempts of trying to start, I noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. When I looked inside, I noticed that a red wire coming from under the engine was red hot and the rubber coating was melting off of it.
Backround Info: Bought the boat with 12 Hrs on it. Now has 35 hrs. I have always had trouble getting it started, and would have to try multiple times for the engine to finally turn over. Even with new starter solenoid it still took a few attempts to start. Boat is practically brand new and I have had nothing but bad luck with it, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
