I bought a 1994 bayliner Jazz jetboat. It started fine when i bought it but then i never used it and it sat in my barn for a year. I tried starting this past spring and nothing. I replaced the solenoid and stator and it starts and runs fine....out of water. Once i put in the water it takes forever to start and once it does its only for a little bit and then slowly dies. It will start back up no problem once i take it back out of the water. I know absolutely nothing abou these boats, this is my first one, so here are some other things i experienced if this helps. Water slowly fills up the boat, back and mid section but the bilge pump is out of service so maybe this is normal. I just wasn't sure if this much water was normal or not. Also, it smokes quite a bit when it did start for a second in water both out the back and by the motor under the back hood. Maybe just because it hasn't ran in a while or too much starting fluid sprayed in it? Again, im not sure, I'm a newbie when it comes to these boats. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Joe
