Cannot figure out where this hose goes!

Title is my question. I searched everywhere and can't figure out where this hose is supposed to go. My ski is spoiling some 2 stroke oil and I suspect this may be why.

This is a 1990 seadoo bombardier sp

I'm referring to the house on the far right. It is connected to nothing and was sitting in the bottom of my ski.

Looks like the hose from the bailer.

Looks like the hose from the bailer.

Not sure what that is, where does it connect to? The two hoses to the left of it go to the little sumps that suck water out.

Just to be more clear, I marked up this pic of what I'm referring to.

Where is it supposed to be tied up to?

If your oil lines are original or old and rotten, your lucky the engine hasn't seized. One extra tube that always comes up on the "where does this go?" list is the overboard thru-hull battery vent.

I can't see your pic, might be my browser s/w.

That may actually be what it is based on a single un-labeled diagram I found, but what does it connect to?

I can see the pic now but I dunno where that's going. It looks okay from what I can see, zoom out and there's an issue?

The battery vent would exit the hull just forward of the well where where your feet ride, not in the stern.

Maybe you have a single bilge bailer low in the bilge where water would collect. The bilge bailer hose goes to a venturi tube in the jet pump nozzle that creates a vacuum while the engine is running. This vacuum sucks water from the bilge, caused by water rushing through the jet pump past the venturi tube in the pump outlet.

Since you're searching for an oil leak, one place famous for that is the rubber bung on the bottom of the oil tank (not sure if your tank has this) tends to drip when they get old. Lay a clean paper towel under it if possible.

Another place tanks tend to leak is at seams where they were molded together.

I keep my oil tank rather low, less than half full but enough to run several days. Then I check it visually before each ride in case it leaks and I wait for the warning light to illuminate as a test, before adding oil.

This way, if a leak develops I don't have a big mess of expensive oil in the bilge and by waiting for the warning light before adding, I'm testing to make sure the light's working.

I'm not sure that will work for you but in my boat that's how I do it.

It is the vent hose for the battery.
