I have a Sea-Poo e-box with nice screw on grommets to seal the wires going in and a good rubber seal all the way around it. I was thinking of mounting this and running all the Yamaha goodies in it to solve the leaky Super Jet e-box issues. Has anybody done this? Any thoughts?

I have a Sea Doo HX with that same e-box, as well as a 91 SJ. The SJ e-box stays dry as a bone, the Sea Doo leaks like a sieve.....
Where is your Yamaha e-box leaking from???? That just seems crazy to me...

I thought the yamaha E-Box was a good design. Maybe you need to look your's over maybe the gasket is just pinched wrong or something.

I have sealed and re sealed and used sealant and never been able to keep water out of my box on my 93 superjet. It has water EVERY time. My plan is to thread a bolt in the bottom so it could be drained and left open to dry after every ride.

I have never had a drop of water in my 01' SJ's box? :shrugs:
Yes, it is blasphemy, I know!
After reading these responses, I won't give up on the Yamaha box just yet, although I'm not the only one having trouble with them. I have a new gasket coming from Yamaha so that should help but it looks like the design of the cable 'seals' it what's causing the leaks.
I used dielectric grease on the seal and made sure the wires and cables weren't pulling too hard....and the screws are all fine too. Anything else to watch for?
That sounds like a good idea. I just wish we didn't get water inside in the first place...
