How to Save a SUNK SXS

We breakdown the cost and method of saving a SXS that went under water

[@benthepcsurgeon]

The water shooting from the cylinders looked like the Bellagio Fountains! Glad you got it back up and running.

What great timing! I am in the process of de-watering my sunk seadoo. Haven't watched your video yet, but I am working on the 5th oil change. Can't seem to get all of the DAMN sludge out of the crankcase. UGH

[@jovaniestrada7591]

Did you change spark plugs

[@oneoffgarage]

Nope they were fine

[@jovaniestrada7591]

Getting p0303 fault what side is cylinder 3 on? Passenger side or belt side?

[@oneoffgarage]

@jovaniestrada7591 I believe the firing order is 132 from the cvt side. If you're replacing your plugs go with Brisk. Also a smoked belt with throw the misfire code

[@jovaniestrada7591]

@@oneoffgarage I feel it actually misfiring will the belt actually make it misfire or just throw into limp mode and cut the power? I’ll try switching the middle coil to the left side to see if it gives me a p0301. If not I’ll probably just change the spark plugs!

@@oneoffgarage thanks recently sunk my machine, shouldn’t did it give you any problems long term?

[@gonzalodelgado9032]

Sir i just sunk my machine i did the oil about 5 times I still see some white foam on the dip stick how many more times should I change it

[@oneoffgarage]

Hopefully you're changing the filter as.well. and you're running the machine to circulate the oil after each charge. If the milkyness is gone and you've done five changes you should be ok. You'll never get 100% of the water out but the small amount left should evaporate with the engine heat. It's hard to diagnose without seeing.

Where do you guys ride??? My and my buddy just got some x3 what’s some good spots? I’m in Sarasota

[@richardstilwell6043]

1000rss swamped do you think water got into the transmission or gear boxes? The engine had about a quart of water in it and the pistons were full

[@oneoffgarage]

Anytime we swamp a machine we do all fluids. It's just better to be safe. Don't forget the air filter.

[@richardstilwell6043]

@@oneoffgarage do your run the engine when flushing the oil?

[@oneoffgarage]

@@richardstilwell6043 initially run it for a short amount of time to circulate the new oil. Drain, repeat until its no longer milky, we usually change the filter every other change. Run it a little longer with each oil change. The heat helps evaporate the water. It's not a cheap process but it's worth it

[@richardstilwell6043]

@@oneoffgarage thank you so much unfortunately i fucked up big time the bike only has 14.5 hours on it 😔 i really hope she will be okay she spun over and blew all the water out the cylinders so im glad she isnt seized up
