I have a 95 Seadoo Xp 720,
As it says in the title I got water coming out of my spark plug holes. Heres what happened. I was on a lake and came to a stop and turned the motor off. Somehow the water got rough and the ski flipped from a stop and me and my friend fell off. We got back on, and then it would tip on us again. When the water calmed down I climbed on it and it wouldn't start. It was barely cranking. I had a boat tow us in and when I put it on the trailer I took the seat off and the hull was pretty much filled with water. I doesn't start now but cranks. The battery is good and the starter is new. I took the filter off and there was water in the carbs. Later on I wanted to see if I had spark. I took both plugs out and hit the start button, water sprayed out of the spark plug holes. Water was also dumping out of the exhaust. I think I got all the water out but I was wondering how bad this is. I've never owned any kind of watercraft before so i'm new at this. Please help me out with some tips and tricks.
This may be real stupid and some of you will probably laugh, but I was thinking about installing a bilge pump. Last week I had it docked in the water and while we were eating, water got in the hull from somewhere. I was going to drill a hole under the grab bar and install a pump near the bottom of the hull. Would that help and work?
Also if I do need a new motor where a good place to buy one?
Sorry for the long post. I need a lot help.
