Does it fill up just sitting in the water or does it fill up while riding? Your stock bilge may be clogged.

I think part of your problem is that you have that big pipe in the way....You should sell it to me:Banane01:

Yes, that uses suction pressure from the pump to pull water out of the hull. It is not the fastest in the world so you need to just cruise around a couple minutes when the hull fills up with water to let it work.

Have you tried running it in the water with the hood off? It is possible that one of your cooling lines has a leak or is not hooked up. If you don't see water pumping into the hull when you do that then it is just an issue with your bilge.

make sure the other end of the hose is connected to the reduction nozzle.
see the hose thats not connected to the nipple? thats the siphon bilge.

Sorry for the thread jacking here. But my SN takes on a lot of water too. Only when it's parked though. I have a couple pisser's that are half ass blocked off and sealed, but those aren't bringing in as much water as I'm taking in.
I'd say it sits for half hour 40 min and pisses a good 30 seconds of steady stream. I feel it's gotta be something with the exhaust maybe? Since it only does it whIle it's sitting..
I dunno if having a dry pipe system has anything to do with it.
But I've got the 701 dual carb. Plenty of other goodies as well.

You went way back in time for this one. Lol
It could be a few things. The two main things I would look at it is one the midshaft and two the water lines. If the seal is bad where it seals to the hull it will let water in while sitting in water. Also look at all your water lines especially the ones that are low in the hull. The best thing to do is back it in the water while it's still secured to the trailer. First just look inside the hull and see if water is coming in through the midshaft or anywhere else. Then run it and see if you can spot a leak somewhere.

I have notied that where the driveshaft comes through the hull, right above the intake grate, has a small chunk of what looks like a seal, missing on the lower section.
Could that possibly be a culprit?
I'll post a picture when I get it loaded up this morning.
I still need to build a cart for my hitch hauler, right now I have it sitting on a plastic pallet. Lol

And I also just used Google to search for some key words. Lol.
I couldn't find a search function within the X.

That could very well be the culprit.

Do you know a good place for parts? Seems that finding a good parts retailer for ski parts is a little more troublesome than other motor sports...

Also, is there any type of manual I can get for it? Beings that it's a 90 body, with an almost all aftermarket runnine gear, I may need two different ones?

I concur. He has the best customer service out there and seems to have every part imaginable. Wizzards Powersports is a good place to find good used OEM parts as well.
As far as a shop manual is concerned, you may be able to do a google search and find one you can download.

If hull takes on water while off, also check this 90 deg. fitting. It is a vacuum break for the stock syphon. If that hole (#69 drill bit=0.0292") should be clogged, the hull may well take on water while stationary.

Tilt it back on the trailer and fill it up with the water hose until the midshaft housing is fully covered. If it's leaking, you will know.
