Hi All,
Bought the Seadoo last year had a great summer with it. Got it winterize by Bombardier shop. 3 week wait time to get it ready from the shop plus 100$. So I said can't be that hard. I reacharge battery hook it up and now 1 motor will not start. Always the same one. It does not turn like the battery would be dead but I can start 1 motor always the same one. What I've notice is the 1 wire that goes from battery to the motor that don't start get hot when I try to start it. The wire that goes from battery to motor that starts right away is always cool. What should I check

Thanks
 
Good Observation. Heat means either the starter brushes need changed or the Cable
lug connection(s) are internally rotted. Have fixed many lately with that. Cut lugs off,
re-solder on new and marine shrink wrap, install at cleaned connect & grease. Bills86e
