    1997 Seadoo GTX Low Compression

    Hello Forum. Hoping for some direction. I bought this seadoo last year on kinda of a whim. Never even drove one before. And didn't check it out as good as I should have. It has the 787 engine. It ran great for a couple of hours (stopping, starting, ripping around) then just died and wouldn't...

    1986 9.9 Water Outlet

    Where should the cooling water exit the motor? Mine is coming out the 1/4" hole in the front left side of the lower unit. Is this right? Everything I can gather says it should come out the vent holes closer to the back above the water intake. Whadda you guys think? Thanks Mike
