I just recently purchased a 1996 Sea Doo Speedster for a lake I live on. Love it! and am extremely impressed with the power and speed of my Sea Doo. I own a 22' Cobalt Cuddy and never thought I would "go smaller". I have a problem I haven't figured out. When the boat is sitting in the water with no passengers, or the boat is moving with passengers (there are just two of us and we are both thin)there is no water in the passenger area of the boat. As soon as we are sitting in the lake in idle or shut off, water comes in through the drain hole under the drivers seat and fills up about 3 inches. This again disappears when the boat is running again. I noticed that the diaphram of the scupper valve is ripped, so in reading other threads here, I bought the generic valve with the plastic ball and installed this. It helped only slightly. What now???? How do I find out if there was a recall on the valve for this year boat and will sea doo still honor the recall if there was one? Thanks for your help as I am puzzled as to what to do next.

Hi Debi, Maybe try to tie up the hose that comes from the drain hole in the Boat about 2 to 4 inches higher than that hole. You might have it fixed. Hope this helps.
