Can I get some guidance

[J-House]

Just bought 2, 2010 RXT-X 260’s
These are the 1st ski’s that I’ve ever owned. We ran them pretty good for about and hour. The engine light went on on both ski’s. The ibr only works when it wants to on one ski & the other one over heated & it looks like coolant leaked in the hull hopefully it’s just a hose.
This was the 1st time I had them out except when I bought them. I’m just hoping that I didn’t make a mistake buying them. I am going to get them fixed & see how they ride. Just a little frustrated right now.

Ski 1 might be a binding ibr mechanism - or the ibr itself which is badly. Check the mechanism, maybe easy fix otherwise costly if the ibr needs replacement.
Ski 2 might need a new head gasket if it overheated. Most probably the vent hose from the expansion tank burped in the hull, or the coolant hose itself.

Yes, frustrating if you just bought the toys and want to play - and than these things happen.
