Submerged Boat
To limit damages to the engine, per-
form the following procedure as soon
as possible.
Drain bilge.
If it was submerged in salt water, spray
bilge and all components with fresh wa-
ter using a garden hose to stop the salt
corroding effect.
CAUTION: Never try to crank or start
the engine. Water trapped in intake
manifold would flow towards the
engine and may cause severe dam-
age to the engine.
Bring the sport boat to be serviced by
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon
as possible.
CAUTION: The longer the delay be-
fore you have the engine serviced,
the greater the damage will be to the
engine.
Water-Flooded Engine
CAUTION: Never try to crank or start
the engine. Water trapped in intake
manifold would flow towards the
engine and may cause severe dam-
age to the engine.
Bring the sport boat to be serviced by
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer as soon
as possible.
CAUTION: The longer the delay be-
fore you have the engine serviced,
the greater the damage will be to the
engine. Failure to have the engine
properly serviced may cause severe
engine damage.
Fuel-Flooded Engine
When the engine does not start after
several attempts, the engine may be
fuel-flooded. Proceed as follows.
Crank engine several times.
If it does not work:
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
Remove ignition coils.
CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt in
coil holes prior to removing the spark
plugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall into
cylinder and will damage the internal
components.
Remove spark plugs.
NOTE: After untightening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to pull the
spark plugs out. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and “hook” it to
then extract spark plug.
Install new spark plugs if available or dry
spark plugs using a rag.
Reinstall spark plugs and ignition coils.
Install clean dry spark plugs if possible.
Reconnect ignition coil connector.
NOTE: Prior to inserting the ignition coil
to its location, apply some Molykote 111
grease (P/N 413 707 000) around the
seal area that touches the spark plug
hole. After installation, ensure the seal
seats properly with the engine top sur-
face.
Start engine as explained above. If en-
gine continues to flood, see an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION: Never run engine without
supplying water to the exhaust cool-
ing system when sport boat is out of
water.

WARNING
When disconnecting coil from spark
plug, always disconnect coil from
main harness first. Never check for
engine ignition spark from an open
coil and/or spark plug in the engine
compartment as spark may cause
fuel vapor to ignite.
