1993 tigersharks

Hi all just helping a buddy who just got 2 of these ski's.My question is ..On the rear jet drive assembly there is a part called the bladder that looks like an acordian.His is cracked on both skis and when i pumped it milky oil came out of the crack in the side of it.What is this thing and is the milky oil a bad issue?We have plenty of time to fix these right and ordering parts is not a problem but just wondering if there is some lube that has gooten watered down and now needs replaced or is it normal.

Any help would be appreciated a bunch since we are both plain newbies when it comes to ski's.

you dont need it just cap it off. i think only suzuki has the bladder so someone on this forum told me to cap it wich i did and it works fine......

Thats good that we can just cap it off..But is there some kind of lube in there that might need replaced since im sure some moisture has gottin in there hence the milky oil stuff coming out?

looking at the exploided view in the manual there are bearings and such in there so i would think that there is some kind of lube in there..

yes you have to take the endcap off and put in 90w gear lube

So im guessing i need to pull out screw #3 in this exploded view to drain out old gear lube then replace with new lube.

Looks like it should be easy to get to if i just remove the inlet grate?

Just wish there was an easy way to rinse out the old stuff but we will just have to hope for the best .
