Excessive water in center storage

[OzTEXS]

Hi

I recently returned from a trip that included beaching my seadoo speedster 200 for several hrs

Upon Return to shore I noticed once I opened the drain plug an unusual amount of water with a ting of oil gushed out

Would there be a specific reason for this ??

Check your carbon seals and bellows. best way is stick a gopro camera, or the like in there and record while your running to see if it's leaking.

Can this be a serious issue ?

Yes it can if the bellows were to rupture. It's what keeps the water out where the drive shaft passes from the outside to the inside of the hull.

if it started after you beached, I'd slide under it on the trailer and inspect the bottom and pumps as well, just for piece of mind.

I used to get water in the ski locker...I replaced my carbon seal and siliconed (top / bottom) my rub rail now I get zero water.
