Best Answer

damage to the hull or drain plug(s) not in place or missing. Another cause for a jetski taking on water can be loose rubber hoses inside the hull. If a rubber hose that is connected to the exhaust is loose the hull can quickly fill up with water. If you notice your hull is filling up with water get to the shore and check all the hoses to make sure they are installed properly. This is usually the number one reason why a ski without hull damage takes on water. Especially if the engine has recently been installed after a rebuild. Even professional shops will occasionally leave hoses loose. I have helped numerous folks at the lake because they find their ski full of water before they even leave the boat ramp, serous damage can happen to the motor if the water is sucked into the reed cages and not taken care of properly.
