full of water

[scooter 69]

1995 speedster bombarder sunk while dock at the beach. both moters under water. night before went to the boat to cover turned pump on to drain alittle water out and took battery to charge, came back next day and the back of the boat was on the lake floor. Its almost like the pump sucked the water back in overnight. Is there a check valve on the pump because the hole where the water drains out seems to be almost in the water, i am going out tomarow to put the boat in the water while still on the trailer to see leak hopefully
could the water come back in from the pump line?

First of all... what? Your post is very unclear. It sounds like you ran a bilge pump then removed your battery. And then it sank. Are your drain plugs in? Do they seal? On an older boat, the o-rings can deteriorate or disappear, allowing water into the hull.

First... seadoo's are not meant to be left in the water. Some people do... but in the users guide, they say to remove the boat from he water when not in use.

No... there isn't a check valve in the hose for your bilge pump, and yes... water can come back up it.

Also... it is common on the older boats to have leaks around the hull seam at the swim platform, around the exhaust outlet, the driveshaft seal, and (as above) the plugs.

Lastly, you NEVER remove the battery from a boat if you are going to leave it in the water. Your bilge pump has an auto switch in it. If you would have left the battery in it, it would have probably been OK.

Regadless... I'm sorry that you had an issue to this extreme. Make sure you get the water out of the engines, and get them started. If you don't get them running soon, the internals will start to rust up.
