Lots of Water in the Bilge

[miscon]

I have a 95 Seadoo- Spi - Should be simple but not so far.... If it sits in the water for 3-4 hours it has water over the battery. If we can run it, it pumps right out. It's happened a couple of times... not ever time though. I've tried adding water while on the trailer and nothing...

Ideas???

that will end up ruining the ski,, check the drive shaft seal and rubber boot

Not to show just how stupid I am... but how do you check the drive shaft seal and rubber boot as you suggest??

Re: Lots of Water in the Bilge

remove the grey cover over the rear fly wheel where the drive shaft is connected to the engine there is a seal and carrier on the drive shaft and a black hose holding the seal carrier with a clamp at both ends place the ski in the water and see if water is leaking from where the hose or seal are. if you had to ask i am sure you never greased the bering behind the seal so it probably seized to the drive shaft and spun the hose allowing water to gush in.
