Hey there everyone, this is my first post although it's regrettably about an issue that I have encountered.
I recently purchased a Sea-doo Spark 3up and was using it for the second time in the sea two days ago now. However when I took it to land and went to open up the drainage plug I noticed it was missing - I obviously had neglected to tighten it properly and it had consequently fallen off during me riding it.
I went to purchase another plug, however I was wondering what detrimental affects this might have on the engine. I flushed the engine out and everything seemed to be working fine - It's brand new, it's what I would expect, Although I can't help thinking there may be an underlying problem with there being salt water all over the engine due to me leaving this plug off!
Am I being overly paranoid or is it justified? As I have heard so many stories of this being a huge problem.
I need any advice and your support would be greatly appreciated,
Kindest regards,
Sam
