I'm a first time PWC owner and have had the 650 for about 2 months. I replaced the entire fuel system lines filters etc and rebuilt the carburetors mainly off of information found on this site (thank you!) While winterizing it tonight I had too many things going on at once and when I was flushing the cooling system and lubricating through the air box I forgot to pinch the outlet hose. I did not flush for as long as recommended time, the hose was on for a total of two and a half minutes maybe I immediately realized what I did tilted the jet ski up pulled the plugs and didn't see any apparent water but from what I've read I need to fix this mishap within a few hours or the ski is toast. I'm having trouble understanding what to do from here or if anything is needed at all.PLEASE HELP ASAP

I don't know exactly what you did but if all you did was not restrict the discharge hose then the water you were flushing with just went out the rear or the ski. The purpose of pinching the hose is that you are forcing water through the system the OPPOSITE way it normally flows. So... when you don't pinch the discharge line, the water takes the easy way out and doesn't flow through the engine as efficiently. Your ski should be fine.
 
It is far worse to turn on the water and NOT have the engine running. If you don't see any water shooting out of the spark plug holes or at least a mist you probably don't have water in there. Taking it for a ride would set your mind at easy. Do a really good Fog job on the engine. Good Luck
