Hi, yes it was mainly the steering cable nylon nut that had come loose and was pouring water right into the hull. I put Teflon tape on the threads and spun the nut back on tight, it hasn’t come back loose or leaked in over 30hrs of riding. I also patched some gouges underneath the hull and replaced the drain plugs and it’s mostly water tight now. I did make a video called “finding where the waverunner leaks in water”. Good luck!
