I rented a 2001 Waverunner XLT 1200 for a day. My guest and his son took it out on the the lake. We were given no warning about a steering column issue. Sure...my friend and his son dumped over the side a couple of times and the PWC dutifully stood upright.
I even rode it after they left and it performed short radius turn perfectly, smoothly, and rode normally.
A week after, the owner (who owns the house we rent in the summer) said they tried to take it out and his knowledgable friend noticed a crack in the steering column that needs to be replaced.
Is this something that happens when you fall off a waverunner at 20-30mph?
I asked him if perhaps somebody hit the thing as it was moored away from the shore.
Since it is 10 years old, is this a wear and tear issue?
Thanks for your help in advice
