Hi all,

don't know if anyone can help but here goes:
new to boating had it a few months, new rebuilt engine, first time in water today and after a faulty ignition switch it started okay but soon developed what seemed to be an electrical fault, power to the engine would cut an alarm sound for a second then power restored, made my way around the lake like this intermittantly until engine cut completely with a repeated alarm sound and refused to start again.

Checked the engine found water spray everywhere, then found one of the water pipes that goes behind the top pully had rubbed through causing a leak.

What are the alarms for and could the water problem cause the boat to switch off and on again??

Also on the engine battery side down near the bottom a water nozzle with no pipe attached is letting in what seems to be cool water, where is this water supposed to go??

Give these codes a try, http://seadoosportbo...GINE-t2286.html, they are more for the 4-TEC engines but it might give you some insight.

As far as the pipes go have a look at the shop manual to see if this will help out, http://seadoosportbo...mp;showfile=601.

Is that the Mercury shop manual or the SeaDoo manual?
I have the shop manual for the boat but was looking for the one for the jet-drive; does becoming a sponser give access to the Merc manuals?

That is the SeaDoo manual, we were legally asked by Mercury not to distribute their manuals so unfortunately we are no longer able too.
