Clayton, If the plug wires are bad they will light up like a Christmas tree with thousands of sparks along the wires or you'll find a concentrated area leaking spark...I once did this same spray test in a dark garage or you can throw a blanket over yourself outside and create enough darkness...this is a good test ocdfreeride....good luck.

Tried the salt water on the wires and boots. I don't have a flow control valve on my water line to the box think that might be it I'm stumped. Thanks for the help

I'm watching this thing closely, because I have the exact same issue going on with mine... New box/plug wires from JSS, bogging with little/no power after a few minutes.
Where do you hook up a ground wire? I've heard battery to engine case and ebox to case. How can you tell if it's reeds?
This was not intended to be a disrespectful thread-jack, and I hope it was not taken that way.

Clayton you may be looking at a stator problem.

But wy does it only do it when it gets wet.

Did you ever get those vent tubes for your hood? To see if its a reed problem, I'm guessing you have to remove the manifold and visually inspect the reeds to find any damage. It seems to me that a reed problem would happen during any throttling and not just after stabs. If stabs = water in hull, and water in hull = running 
ty; then water may be your problem. Milehigh could be be on to something, stator problem when the ski hits?

Just use an Ohm Meter (multimeter) to test the wires coming from the stator. You can do that without opening the flywheel cover. If it's stock, the service manual will give you acceptable ranges for each coil, as well as which wires to check.

I am thinking it may be the impact of the jump and not wetness. is the stater tight?

possibly the wiring loom from the stator is shorting with in its self

I used to run generic tcw3 and would get milky froth on the plugs when I got water ingestion and the water wouldn't get out of the motor during normal running. I switched to quick silver and have much less water ingestion issues and no frothyness.
I put generic tcw3 in a cup with water and the quicksilver in a cup with water. Shook both. The generic turned into a frothy mess but the quicksilver seperated like Cooking oil. Do this test. If your oil doesn't seperate from the water, change to a better oil.
