Super Jet Almost sunk - now what to do

[Kmp]

Doing a fountain and ski stayed under a bit too long, got full of water, bilges couldn't keep up and almost sunk it. Back on lift now and trying to clear water out. Blew most water out but still won't run, and have to leave town on vacation. I put some oil down the cylinders and turned over and put plugs back in. Anything else to do to prevent damage??

Get that thing started before you leave!

Was it in the salt or fresh water? Pull the plugs rotate the ski upside down push your start button till all the water drains out. Fresh plugs and hope the crank or any other parts didn't get damaged.

take it back out and try it again, almost doesnt count. you have to sink it completely. Turn it upside down and turn it over. water and oil dont really mix, so wherever that water still is will start to rust.

If you cant turn it completely upside down, turn the ski sideways with the carbs pointing down and the exhaust pointing up. Water will run out the carbs.

I have and never will leave the ramp until I get a sunk ski running again. And I'd guess 99% of the members in this forum do the same thing.
