Hi All. I just joined the forum today and need some quick help!
just got my first PWC a week ago. I bought 2 old but nice(maybe not) 1990 Seadoo PWC.. I dont know the models or sizes... When I bought them the owner said one ran great and the other needed a tune up, but both needed batteries.. we jumped them and the started right up and seemed in great shape, so I bought them.... To make a long story short.
I put in a new battery and I took one out today. Engine ran great and this thing flew around the river.
I wasnt out 10 minutes when I noticed I was sitting low in the water, so I docked up to my buddy boat and noticed the whole inside of the engine compartment was full of water. I towed it to shore and drained it out. cranked her over and blew out alot of water, took the plugs out and spewed out alot of water from the plug holes. I sprayed the electrical down with WD-40 and in the spark plug holes.. I ran the battery down blowing out the water, so I wont be able to restart it til tomorrow when recharged. What else should I do to be on the safe side.
Any ideas what causes it to fill so fast? I spent all week checking it over n cleaning the PWC, no cracks in the fiberglass, that I can see and the drain plug was still in the rear! Filled up so fast I almost think it was pumped in somehow. Bilge pump or bad gasket on the jet intake maybe?
I spent the last five hours searching online for answers. Any help is appreciated, I dont have the money to take it to a shop right now.
