I had a kind of funny thing happen yesterday on the lake. I found a floating tennis ball, so I got it and started sort of a game of catch / dodge ball with my sons on their jet skis. I went to grab it from the water after I got nailed, and in my haste to retrieve it from the water, while moving a bit too fast, I found my self in the water and my GSX upside down! So, I went to the back to see the sticker on which way to roll it back over, and rolled it back over. I could immediately tell it was VERY unstable which indicated it was full of water. I finally got back on it and got it started and went back to the beach and anchored it in about 3' of water. I took the seat off and saw it had a ton of water in it! It was almost to the top of the battery! I can't believe it took on that much water that fast. We got a Gatorade bottle and bailed out most of it , then went on some high speed runs and that got the rest out. It ran fine the rest of the day. When I got home, I took the seat off and opened the front cover and took out the storage bin. Then I stuck a fan on the seat opening and let it run all night to dry it out. Today, it's all opened up and sitting in the sun. Do you guys think that's enough to dry it out completely? Is there any thing else I should do?
Also, the VTS cover came off (I don't think it was put back on securely when the shop that replaced my starter did their inspection). The VTS works, but this is what it looks like. I have it set where I want it and I don't mess with it, so I'm not overly concerned about it. Obviously it wasn't sealed for a while. I've only had the thing for just over a month now.
