Last week I put a friends ski in the water for the first time in a year. he said he winterized it, but I have my doubts. Anyway, we rode the ski all day and then beached it for the night (sand beach).
The next morning, the hull was full of about 6 inches of water! I checked the drain plugs and both were tight. After draining it, it would start, but wouldn't get above 2000 rpms.
We took it out and had a shop look at it. They said water got into the hull through the jet and exhaust.
Does anyone have any idea of how this happens? Is it because we beached it overnight, or is it a result of not winterizing it properly?
thanks in advance for the help!
