How to remove hood without cutting wires? What tools to carry on ski?

[Don 94 seadoo xp 657 pair]

For 96 GTI....I searched Ebay seadoo tools but didn't find it. I am guessing its some kind of tube tool to get the wires out of the plugs.

Does anyone have a link? And how do you do it? I bought a ski with a cool no gauges hood I want to use.

Also none of my gauges or fuel float work on my other skis, should I disconnect them all to lessen change of drain or short?

Also what tools do you carry on your skis? I have plug wrench, flat blade, knife, vice grips, spare plugs, quart of oil incase pump quits, pinch off pliers..

Correct me if I am wrong, but they just unplug on the left side of the hull (when sitting on ski) and pull through the grommet in the nose one at a time, smallest plug to largest? That's how my 97 GTX is, my assumption is a 96 GTI is the same or similar. No special tool.

No you don't need to worry about the fuel sender draining the battery. It is either the float is bad or the F1 fuse on the sender is bad, both are easy fixes.

You don't need to carry oil incase the pump quits. If the pump quits you will seize the engine before you know it is bad. The oil pumps and injection on these don't fail. But the little 3/32" oil lines from the pump to the intake manifold do need to be replaced as they can crack with age and starve the engine of oil.
