96 Seadoo SP, clunking somewhere in drivetrain

[larry1575]

My 1995 SP has clunking noise coming from drive train (I think?). How do I disconnect the drive shaft from the engine, remove the impeller and all that to check it out? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My guess is the coupler bearing on the driveshaft did not get any grease in its zerk,
and rusted to the shaft and ripped the hull snout out/off the thru-hull. You'll need
a repair kit for that. Pull the pump. The COMPLETE proceedure is pictorized in your
Shop Manual, specific for your ski year/model. Bills86e
