Bought a 1991 Square Nose Super Jet and finally had it out to the lake yesterday, it runs great but noticed right away there was no water coming out of the pee hole, took it back to the trailer to further investigate. Turns out the pee hole was really hooked up to a hose that "was in the past" hooked up to a bilge pump which is no longer in the ski, the hose was just laying under the engine. Secondly there was already a fair amount of water in the compartment which was coming through the bilge hole and right down the tube into the compartment, so I temporarily closed off the hose with a zip lock bag and a rubber band to keep water from coming in. The ski does have a fresh water flush kit on it, so I fired it up with the flush kit cap off and verified water was circulating, so my daughters friend was good to go riding the ski.
Later in the day I looked inside to find even more water in the ski, probably a total of 5 gallons, we were done for the day anyways so I pumped out the water before leaving with a hand pump.
Now to the questions, did Super Jets in 1991 even have a pee line/hole? Tried looking it up on the parts diagrams and could not find it, if it did come with one I guess I would like to find the parts and re-install. Next question is where is the water coming in after I sealed off the bilge line? I looked at the hood gasket and it is folded over in a few places. Hood gasket is the only start to where I think it may be coming in, are there any other known issues where water could be coming in from?
This is an extra ski that we bought for friends to ride, so I want this to be solid to not have to think about it.
