Put the ski on the trailer and start filling the hull up with water from a garden hose and look for leaks ....... keep the trailer attached to the vehicle so it wont tip over

Upon reinstall of motor did you inadvertantly pull one of the cooling feed lines off in the rear of the hull. Pull the battery box out and take a look,probably it. When the motor is running you are pumpimg water in the hull and not to the motor.

I did this and mine was leaking in the back where the top of hull and bottom of the hull r joined together, i had to fill the gap in with some 5200, had to do the same thing in the front of the ski, and i also had to replace my hood seal that was my main prob.

at the rubber where it is vulcanized at the housing, I was able to fix for now with 5200.

Leaky mid-shaft would not lead to a hot motor,did you take 15 minutes and remove the battery tray and check the cooiling lines to rule them out?

 

[Jpass]

how did you route your cooling lines?

 

[Nobbyq]

yes lines under tray are fine and all renewed as follows , both lines in to exhaust man back of head to top of pipe
front of head to p*sser

bottom of pipe to pipe chamber and p*sser

i have tonight also restricted both cooling lines just before ​
