Had an interesting day. The wife rolled the 98' Seadoo GTX, right after we finally got it running of course :facepalm:
It's all good though, it happens. The part that pissed me off was not only did not one person stop to help us (I had my 3 year old daughter with us at the time btw)but the ****ers also flew past us, one at a time, not less than a rock throw away. This not only made it impossible to set up for tow properly, but continued to capsize the runner to the point that by the time we got it back to the dock it was 97% under water. One guy out of a hundred+ finally offered some help, throughout that whole ordeal all the other cattle just watched or better yet tried to sink us further.
Anyway. Got it on the trailer, drained it, tipped it c.c.w. several times, pulled plugs, grounded them, the cranked it over. That was a **** load of water in there. I spent a couple of hours putting dialectic grease on all of the connections, spraying the compartment with anti corrosion spray, fogging the engine, then blowing out more water from the cylinders. I haven't got this far but I'm planning on changing out all the gas, I bought new fuel line (they were the grey ones anyway), and I'm gonna toss all the oil (it looks actually like the oil stayed good but why chance it)
I think i've conveyed it all for now but what else should I do NOW? I have the motor all but pulled and need to know what I'm overlooking. I know I need to drain all the crank case oil but how can I be sure that it's flushed? Do I need to pull the stator off? I pulled the carb, do you think I have to rebuild now or just clean and dry? I keep just drenching everything in fogging oil, figure it can't hurt, but I don't want to over kill. It wanted to crank over after it all want down, I wasn't letting it of course, I had the spart plugs grounded on the post and was cranking.
Well....what I am I missing? I have no idea if it was running as it was tippind or not.She don't know. And it was impossible for me to clamp the water intake line with the way all that was going on so we had to just tow it as it was.
Wish me luck
