Any new update on this? I'm experiencing the same thing. I've got a siphon box, hooked to the through hull, but the hoses are pretty long and join at a 90 which sits towards the top of the engine bay. Are you saying it need to be Tee'd in a sense, with a vent tube towards the top of the bay...

Does this constitute thread jacking?? o_O

Does running the ski without water through the prop and everything harm any of the components? Also, if you have a dry pipe installed where would the best place be to hook an adapter? Into the head port? And/or the nipple on either side of the exhaust?

So, after taking a look under the hood, and reaching under the engine itself, I found a piece of fiberglass patch about 6" x 10". It had some brownish compound on it, as well as a lot of white fiberglass stuff. I dunno if this is actually the culprit, didn't feel like it was ever really...

wait... I shouldn't have filled the engine with water??? Bahahaha!! Ouch man. I have a slight bit more sense than that! ;) I just wasn't sure if you meant dip the ski under from the back side, or fill the bay and see if it leaks. I don't have a trailer or anything, so the former isn't possible...

You mean directly fill the engine bay?

Thanks guys! The community here is awesome! I'm starting to notice my ski has been slightly pieced together. Half shotily at that. But with some banging parts! I know it's a 701 twin carb. I can't remember what all the local guy told me about it. Whether it was 62t or 61x.. but has tao...

Also, is there any type of manual I can get for it? Beings that it's a 90 body, with an almost all aftermarket runnine gear, I may need two different ones?

Do you know a good place for parts? Seems that finding a good parts retailer for ski parts is a little more troublesome than other motor sports...

And I also just used Google to search for some key words. Lol. I couldn't find a search function within the X.

I have notied that where the driveshaft comes through the hull, right above the intake grate, has a small chunk of what looks like a seal, missing on the lower section. Could that possibly be a culprit? I'll post a picture when I get it loaded up this morning. I still need to build a cart for...

Sorry for the thread jacking here. But my SN takes on a lot of water too. Only when it's parked though. I have a couple pisser's that are half ass blocked off and sealed, but those aren't bringing in as much water as I'm taking in. I'd say it sits for half hour 40 min and pisses a good 30...

Ok, so it's more for permanet or extended parking? Vs having to pull it up on the dock...?

What do you do with this though? It actually sits in the water? Is the ski anchored or something?

I actually did so after looking around a bit on here. I live in Liberty Lake, so I took it out there yesterday. First time I've ridden since I was a kid!!
