If a blockage, once the ski is able to run again, you will need to backflush the system and maybe pull some of the hoses off to see where the blockage is. I would recommend that you install a bilge pump to safeguard against this happening again. Check out www.greenhulk.net. Tons of pwc info on that sight...and how to's on installing a bilge pump. Sea doo makes a kit that you could install as well...ask your dealer. |
Thank you. We took it to Irwin to have them analyze what the issue was. They checked everything out and did not find any blockages. They back flushed and are getting it all set. I was really just wondering how you safeguard against the same thing happening again if there is something unseen under the water surface that gets pulled in. Thanks for your insight. I have now lost 2+ weeks on my beloved water craft. Such a shame.
