2011 RXT 260 IS has sunk. Was in the water for about 2 hours. Front end out of water.
Once taken out of the water it was immediately taken to Sea Doo.
This is not my ski so I cannot confirm just what Sea Doo did.
The bill was high enough owner claimed insurance and collected.
From what I am told Sea Doo removed water and protected all metal from corrosion.
At the moment ski is not powering or anything. Completely dead. Are the ECU and MPEM water tight or could they have taken on water?
I am picking this ski up tomorrow to see if it can be fixed so I have not looked over it yet. Only going off of what I was told.
My first mission would be to regain power. I am hoping ECU and MPEM were water tight and nothing got in. Maybe just had water in plugs? Once I get power I can try and turn over the motor and see if what Sea Doo did was good enough to save it.
Supercharger was rebuilt a month before this occurred but I am sure water probably washed away any oil or grease in bearings. (was Salt water it sunk in) I am also concerned about the IBR. I know these motors are expensive to replace. Curious to know if anyone is familiar with what Sea Doo could have done to this ski or is it a chance it may be too far gone. This did happen 3 months ago so it is not recent. Any and all advice would be helpful.
