Kawasaki Jet Ski STX 1100 and water coming into the engine compartment while at full throttle;

[Robertse]

Dear All,
I have Kawasaki Jet Ski STX 1100 and water coming into the engine compartment while at full throttle; I can’t see any water coming in while the Jet Ski is stationary. I also internally filled the hull up with fresh water while the Jet Ski is on the trailer and I could not see any water leaks coming from inside to the outer side. Hence there must be a seal or intake issue, can you please direct me what should I check and how?
Thanks in advance.

Tie the rear of the ski to shore or something that will hold, even an anchor. Remove the seat and give it throttle

Hi, I tied the boat and noticed water is coming from the Hull at the rear left bottom corner below the exhaust bottle, I disconnected the exhaust bottle, and re-cramp the water hose next to the exhaust hose going to the outer hull, at the rear. Then I took a video and notice it was not coming from the hose but the hall. Before I apply fiberglass putty around the leak area, does any else have any suggestions. See the attached video of the water leak.

I would remove the nozzle and reseal. Putting putty or anything else will just be a band-aid and don't think it will last

It looks like the water is commign in from the side of the nozzle. I will remove the plate underneath the Ski, and furher inspect. I will re-fibreglass the Nozzle and around it.
