I have a 2005 Seadoo Rxt supercharged with 200 hours. I rode the pwc for two hours this past weekend and tied it off to the pier to store overnight. I returned to it the next day to find the rear end of the pwc partially submerged and the inside of the haul filled with water. The water did not fully submerge the engine but came up approximately 3/4 of the engine. I pumped out the water, towed it to the boat launch.
When I pulled it out of the water, I started to look for leaks. The plugs were adequately installed before putting the pwc in the water and I did not see any leakage there. I quickly noticed that the pump grate on the bottom of the haul was gone. There was a stream of water exiting from the front location where the screw enters the haul. I assume the four screws that hold the pump grate to the haul shook themselves loose during operation. I also assume the front screw works as a plug and is a drain point where the water entered through.
The engine oil looks normal (no discoloration or milkyness). I have not turned the machine over yet or even connected the key. The guys at the marina said there is probably water in the supercharger intake hose and that I should take it apart, clean and lubricate the bearings before running. They recomended I take it to a professional.
My questions are:
Where else may I have hidden water?
Should I be worried about the eletrical equipment?
Is the engine okay as long as the oil looks clean?
This is my first experience with water in the haul so any help is much appreciated.
