To make this process easier and quicker, I leave a "quick connect" permanently installed in my flush port. I also have a shut off valve on the end of the water hose so I don't have to run back and forth to the spigot.
That's a great tip! Thank you for watching!
What happens if your Seadoo has 2 access ports on the back? I have 1 on the right and another on the left. Should I flush both or does one do the job completely? Thx….
@@jerrydixon9865 I have the same question... Jerry, did you ever find out whether you need to flush both ports?
@@sandeespraguemccolm7158 yes, start by putting the hose in the left port first and turn the JetSki on. Turn the water on ASAP and let it run for about 60 sec. You should see water run out the hole on the right side where you will put the hose next after doing the left side. Turn water off and proceed to turn off the motor. take your hose off and install it on the right side and turn the motor on but make sure the motor is running before you turn the water on. Now let the water flush out the inter-cooler you should see water coming out of the hole on the left side and there should be a little tiny hole right above your hose. water should start to spit out of that and that’s when you know it’s probably getting close to being completely flush. Let it run for about 60 seconds then disconnect the water and rev the engine about two or three times but not too high and then shut her off. That should be it….👍
@@jerrydixon9865 Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, Jerry! :)
Now, this is one of the most important things you need to know about a seado. If you own a Seto I don't ownershido what maybe someday I will so I will remember because it's one of the most important things to do.
I have a seadoo gti 170se (2023) standing from the back I have a hose hole on the left and a hose hole on the right ,..I have 1 drain plug it has a screw cap its on the right side ....do I have to unscrew the drain plug cap while Im flushing ? ...why does my sea doo have 2 hose holes , just use either side?
When the jet ski is running both holes should be close or not ?
What keeps the carbon seal from over heating on the drive shaft?
Nothing...that's why you only run max 90 seconds on a hose.
Is there any way to keep the carbon seal cool by pushing some water into the intake port?
One way to keep it cool is by pouring water on the seal while it is running, some people will fill the hull with water enough to cover the carbon ring to help keep it cool as well. If you decide to put water in the hull just keep the nose of the boat at a slight incline, it will help fill up over the carbon ring quicker and also keep water away from electrical components. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
I'm not sure why my 2018 RXP has two flush ports. Do you need to flush both?
Those are drain ports for when water accumulates in hull. Open if a lot of water was taken in and moving forward ONLY. And also open once on trailer to let excess water drain out.
The FLUSH PORT is just above the drain port on right(?) Side only. Use the upper one to flush out motor/exhaust. Open lower two on left and right to let water out of hull (but nothing to do with flushing, albeit they’re the same size.
@@jatoca thanks
correct me if I'm wrong but some skis have the flush port on the left side behind the gate hard to get a hose on so using a quick disconnect is the right answer.. you can leave it attached all the time... the ski above has the flush port on the right so different than mine (2017 GTRx-230).. all my skis have the flush port on the port side (older 1996 GTX, 2004 GTX, 2006 RTX) so I guess after 2018? they put the flush port on the right side. Or is this just for the 300 models? In the end I do it the same as the OP but use a permanent quick disconnect adapter on the ski(s) and one on the hose. I also use a turn on/off vavle/adapter at the end of the hose as my spigot is crazy far away lol. Tanks for the video and perhaps someone can explain the 2 styles of flush ports (not to be confused with the obvious drain plugs.
Do you spray/mist freshwater in the engine compartment on a Sea-Doo?
Would taking off the seats and transporting the sea doo home without the seats on help air out the engine compartment in the Hull.
Yes that would work. Thanks for watching!
possibly mention the part number of the flush kit?
Goto walmart and get tye quick connect package. It's black and yellow. One piece threads into the back of the ski and the other attaches to hose. Super cheap and easy. Only like 4.00
I don't understand, I thought it has close loop system, how could water get into the engine if you don't turn it on first?
It’s only for waverunners idk why he said that or for open systems
How long should the flush process take max? Does running dry affect the carbon seal? Im buying a seadoo and I know its a wear item. I just don't wanna sink.
According to the owners manual it states 90 seconds. Thanks for watching!
I won't go longer than 30-45 seconds. Sea doo is known for carbon seals.
Is there a way to have a garden hose with water directed onto the carbon seal from underneath while flushing it ?
does the water go through a heat exchanger to cool the coolant , like in inboard boats?
I just bought a new 2022 Covid holdover seaDoo so no hours and my neighbor recommended flushing with Salt off eliminator too. Is using just water enough or is the Salt off overkill?? Thx great video for this beginner!!
i would recommend using salt away especially in salt water conditions
Thank you verry help ful
Hi.... I made a mistake.
I turned on the water before start the engine and now I see little steam behind the jet ski.
I checked the oil and there's no water contamination.
I checked coolant level and is normal.
Should I be warried?
Thank you very much
I did the same 🙈, I checked oil contamination and coolant, both of them are normal.
@@mko2014h me too 👍👍👍 all OK
Sounds like you caught it in time. Glad to hear that no water got into the motor.
@@ROBERTSONSPOWERSPORTS Did the same thing but there's still a little bit of water in the "engine bay", should I drain it or let it evaporate by it self?
For someone living in colder months, should you remove the seats and store them inside and keep the boat covered under an all weather cover?
take the seats off bro but make sure to keep it covered with a cover of some sort (something of high quality) and you should be set bro
hell do this in warmer climates too, have a heavy duty tarp and over the season the seat has turned from white to green
From watching this video, I take it, that I do not need to hook the water hose up to start my engine. I thought I needed a water hose connected to turn it on. Thanks!
OK, I just watched the other video about using a hose when running in the driveway.
I’m confused about waiting 5-10 seconds before turning water on; should we start the engine before we back it in the water and unload it off the trailer?
I do
NO!! It has to be started first in the trailer because the hose has water pressure... unlike when you're just sitting in the water at the lake (no pressure until the engine starts).
GREAT Advice!! Thx!
Forgive my ignorance, but would it help to lift the nose of the trailer/ski during the flush process? Would this help water not reach the engine in the event of a stall?
No that doesn't make a difference. If it stalls your best bet is to grab the hose and kink it so it will stop the water flow, that will give you time to remove the hose from the flush port. Thanks for watching!
hi, you can start this model 2019 seadoo rxpx 300 without water hose connected ?
i do that and have alarm for hot temperature and i off the engine fast and now i dont know what happend.
You can run them without the hose connected but for only a few seconds. The alarm you heard was most likely for a high exhaust temp as you didn't have any water going to it to cool it.
@@ROBERTSONSPOWERSPORTS When I heard the alarm go off I turned it off quickly, do you think something bad happened to the jet ski? Thanks
@@erferrera8505 no you are fine.... they can run w/o water for a minute or less....
Great video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
so what about the 2 drain plugs ? do those have to be opened while flushing
No
I don't own one or ride them. But I have an opportunity to actually start maintaining a Sea Doo GTI 2018. Interesting.
Is it the same for the spark trixx
Yes, same procedure
I’m going to Florida this summer and taking my new skis. Do I need to flush daily or can I just do it when I’m done, after a week in the water?
Flush daily!
If it touches salt water, it needs to be hosed down and flushed after each session. Trust me...
why not mention anything about the carbo seal?
This title without the picture is a little weird
I only clicked because I liked the title. Great click bait
