Are you sure that the mpem is bad? Even a used one is expensive. While it doesn't necessarily mean the mpem is good, two beeps is a very good sign that it is working.

It sounds to me that you have two separate problems which might not be related to the mpem. If you haven't done it already, I would have the battery load tested. Most auto parts stores will do it for free. Also check for bad grounds, bad battery cables (if they "crunch" they're probably bad), and corrosion on the cables and connections. Since you probably ride on the ocean, check especially the three cables that plug into the mpem, clean and apply dielectric grease.

There's other stuff we can check, but check this stuff out first.

basically while riding on the gulf it just died and would not start, then after 10 min it started for about 10 seconds and never started again, this is when i found out i lost all spark....then after trying for a long time to get it started doing various test it will not even turn over all of a sudden, i jumped the solenoid terminals by the starting coil and got the starter to "click" but it didn't turn so it almost seems the motor is stuck or the starter is not engaging anymore. as for the mpem its the most expansive part that may be wrong and i do not have a "parts bin" yet of sea doo items so might start building one of its not the mpem lol.

Lets do some basic things that doesn't cost any money. First thing is to make sure that the motor is not seized. Remove the spark plugs and ground the spark plug caps. Remove the rear cover and see if you can turn the motor over by rotating the pto flywheel. If its hard to turn over spray a little oil down the spark plug holes.

finally have some free time today, i removed the cover and plugs tried to spin it over and nothing its stuck...but last time i used it it turned over no problem..i put some oil in the plug holes and currently letting it sit to hopefully soak into the rings and maybe be able to spin it...i jumped the solenoid so i know im getting good power to that, im going to get a small wire wheel and use my dremmel to clean up all connections.
