Ls v8 jetski part 22 it sinks

This is not click bait, thumbnail is a still frame from the video. And yeah v8 jetski sinks, and it sucks. It was a perfect day of testing modifications Ls v8 jetski, data logging and fine tuning for more power and speed! Until something went wrong. V8 engine into Yamaha waverunner fzr jetski pwc.

Oh man. Needs some Titanic music. I'll never let go, LSV8, I'll never let go. I promise...

[@JetSkiBrothers]

After this happened I am seriously considering naming this thing the titanic. And it has sink before of course with a different engine in it. Apparently enjoys sinking 😅

[@smileyrulesinthe818]

😂

[@laxrat25]

just sank my SJ last weekend... no one was around cause i headed into the harbor early and i was a few football fields away from shore.. i was holding onto the tow loop for dear life and right before i made the decision to let go and swim to shore a random fisher saw me waving and pulled me and my ski in with his boat. SJ thankfully made it home and fired up again!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Oh man I totally totally sucks. I definitely feel for you you’re just lucky somebody stop by and pick you up before you decided to drop that thing down to the bottom. I’m glad you’re fired back up for you 🔥🤘

[@CALIBEAR]

Rut row... that feeling when you crank the engine and it kicks back.

[@One2fix1982]

Dude that is a bummer, you have worked so hard on it. I really appreciate everything you guys do, will definitely purchase some merch to help. Keep your head up Josh

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks! I appreciate the support 🍻🍻

[@fabricationunlimitedmike1696]

That's a bummer! Was good to see the ROB ski. Need more on that one

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yes the Rob ski is getting worked on and straightened out so there will be a video coming up on that in the future 👌🍻

[@browndog3455]

Ahh man that sucks ...I have to say you took it like a champion ..I can only imagine what you were thinking ...

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thank you. I appreciate that. I was also surprised with myself to be honest. After looking back to the footage I found that I only said two swearwords. Which is surprising normally I would find myself weaving a tapestry of profanity in such a situation. But I think since becoming a dad I’m trying really hard to just be a better person.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that man! We all know it will be back stronger and better than ever! Good luck drying her out!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yep will be back stronger than before, just a matter of time and money 👍👌

[@phildawe7172]

ouch! that's never fun. really felt for ya here, all that work sinking really sucks. so lucky it wasn't deep. After my gp1200r blew up about 7ks away from the launch spot, and I had to get towed, I won't go out without at least 1 auto bilge pump. but that thing probably needed 2 or 3. thanks for sharing this footage with us

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Oh yeah really really sucked. Thank you for the sympathy. Yeah hi hi I hear you don’t really want to go without a bilge pump. Of course yeah this thing needed a little bit more bigger of a bilge pump than it had. It is very fortunate that it is so shallow where we ride I think it gives us a bit more confidence knowing that if something does go wrong and our ski sinks that we will be able to get it back.

[@stormbroer6654]

We had exactly the same issue with our jetski. The jet washer ring pushed out of the shaft and the jet pumps all the water into the engine-bay…. We were really lucky that a friend of us towed him realy fast to the beach otherwise we were on the bottom as well. We pumped the water out of the engine and engine-bay. Flushed the engine and fikst it in 24 hours. Hopefully you can safe this unit🤞 goodluck!

[@cpowers0504]

That’s a rough one…. It’ll be a good comeback and I’ll be waiting to see what went wrong…. Remember if it was easy everyone would be doing it…. I enjoy watching 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Oh no I absolutely gutted for you hopefully you can fix it up i dont suppose the electrical system will be much good now I hope the v8 ski has a speedy recovery 🙏

Well I am hoping that the ECU and the electronics are OK. I don’t know about the alternator and starter but I just hope the Ecu is still good, it is supposed to be waterproof so hopefully it’s still good. Thanks for the support 👌👍

[@zeero311]

Thank God Jason was there with a large enough rescue craft to safely transport both of you back to shore in case the whole ski sank to the bottom.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Haha 😂 I assume that you are jokingly referring to the standup JetSki that he first came out there with. But since this is zero I got a think this is him being silly. Zeros one of those funny guys 😂😂👌👍

[@zeero311]

@@JetSkiBrothers Haha, yeah that was the only part of the video that made me smile was seeing Jason ride up to watch you sink. Everything else was heartbreaking though ☹ At least you will have more great content getting it back out on the water.

I thought jet ski cant sink.. ya learn something new every day

[@ronnelson7828]

I'll bet the "gearbox" let go and holed the hull. A belt drive is needed for the reboot. Either a Gilmer or HighTorque belt drive is the fix. I found an LS 5.3 aluminum block LH6 engine at Lynnwood picknpull but the damn thing is blowed up real good. Crank and two rods are junk. Needs a sleeve and some welding on the block. And there's no guarantee that will make it good.

[@jakesdroidx]

For me that was a great jobs, my advice would be to start with the V6 4.3 > as i look > would fits better would give you 200 + hours power - to me it’s fine.

[@nomercyinc6783]

Hours power isn’t a thing

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Your comment is both illiterate and stupid tbh....A 4.3 v6 weighs the same as this LS nearly and makes ~150 less hp, and a ton less torque, even at a higher RPM(which is what makes pumps cavitate) That would be a piece of shit to ride and make all the work a complete waste of time!

[@gamergirls9392]

@JetSki Brothers if you take out the plugs and tie the ski to a strong ski like a 4 stroke and pull it you can get the water out
