First time posting on here. Hope I'm not asking a repeat (stupid) question but I didn't see anyone had asked yet. I just picked up a '05 GTX last week and took it out for a couple gentle runs this weekend (still apprehensive after my first jet ski experience with an HX a few years back) and everything seemed to be as represented except it did take on some water. You guys have any tips on where to start looking and any recommendation on maintenance now that it's been wet? I know I had to baby the hx drive shaft bearing with grease everytime I towed it to shore....
I was in for about 30 - 45 mins the second day and estimate I emptied ~ 3 - 4 gallons of warm water when I got back on the trailer. To me this would indicate there's a leak somewhere in the exhaust (maybe a lose hose from winterising??) but figured you guys would prob have a good idea of where and how to start looking.
Also, any good advice on routine maintenance after each use so this one doesn't end up lake bottom (like the HX)?
