2011 Seadoo 155 Wake trouble

[gaylecas]

Hoping someone can give me a idea of the problem I am facing with my 2011 155 Wake edition Seadoo. I was driving over a wave and shortly after landing I heard a loud noise in the engine (similar to running over a stick in lawnmower) and it died. The electronics are working but it will not turn over at all.

Check the impeller. If you ran over something and it is jammed in the impeller area , then engine would not be able to crank.

Maybe do a little prayer before you do the check, because if Coastiejoe isn't right, you've got yourself a real "situation". Good luck!

Thanks but unfortunately nothing in impeller. People are telling me may need a new engine at a cost of six grand. Is this normal for a machine with 165hours on it?

Pull the pump first as you may have a seized bearing.

Then see if he engine turns over.

It's the same engine - must be a big dose of bad luck.
