I have owned a 1995 Seadoo XP 718 for 15 years. The original engine has been replaced. Recently, water has filled the engine compartment to the point of sinking the boat. While on the trailer I noticed that if I pull the right side bailer (bilge) up and hang it outside the boat, water is pumped out, which effectively is inside the compartment. Both bailers and associated hoses were cleaned and are clear and are not clogged (nope, flowing quite nicely into the boat, only the right side one). I recently replaced the exhaust cannister due to pin holes underneath causing the same problem. I am not familiar with the replacement of "o rings" as some have suggested. Could someone explain that procedure of examination, and determination or direct me to a specific thread; or any other options. I do not plan to supplement the bailers with a jerry-rigged electric bilge; rather get it back to stock which has performed great up until now. thank you for any information or suggestions.
