SJ Taking on Water

[meatball]

no drain plugs on an SJ, if your taking on water standing, its not the stock bilge. If you notice it goes up much higher then the water line in order to prevent that from happening. Your taking on water either from midshaft housing or mabye you might have a cooling system leak, but I think you'd notice that during riding. Air intakes take on soooooo much water, I hate them.

we shall see this weekend....
doesnt matter how high the stock bilge line goes, if there is no siphon break, it WILL siphon water back into the ski while sitting
hopefully, this weekend will prove that out!

willy - why did you say drain plugs- too much beer?????

 

[tor*p*do]

there is a weird SeaDoo style flush fitting in the ski
think I will yank it out and see if that has any effect! (of course sealing the line back!)

I see what your saying now that I think about it, it would be very close which is lower in the water, probably the bilge box.

Lol

It sounds like you have a leak in a cooling line, that seems like a lot of water to be leaking in throught the intermediate.
Let us know what you find out.
