I bought this boat last season and only took it out a few times. Every time it ran good except the last time it ran out of gas due to the gauge not working. I parked it and in November went to winterize it and the thing wouldn't start. I tried to jump it not knowing I wasn't supposed to do that and it would start. I thought it was messed up internally because some one had put my drain plugs in and got up on the engine about a third up. I then just used a bilge pump to fill with antifreeze. Now today I wipe the plugs, put a little fogger on the pistons and tried to start the boat. The button didn't work so I used a screwdriver to jump the selonoid. It turned over great. But wouldn't start. I then stoped and repeated. This time it threw a check engine light and and continously 3 beeps. Only gas I think that was in it was bout 3 gallons that is 3 or 4 months olds. If I remember right I woould here they fuel pump, but now I don't. Just a small click when it gets juice. The fuse box by the filler cap is all good. The oil is clean. Please help!

UPDATE!!! I figured out if I am right my dess key isn't reading. I have no fire to the engine. I have looked all over and haven't found anywhere that says a Seadoo Sportster 4 tec has a MPEM. What holds the codes ECU? Please help need to sell this boat before schools starts. This boat ran perfect before I tried to jump it. No fuses blown. Will sell it as is.
