My 1997 SeaDoo Bombardier XP fills with water after rolling, should it self bildge, how do I fix it?

I think it has self bildge capabilities, but maybe they are plugged or not working? I can't seem to find a service manual online.My 1997 SeaDoo Bombardier XP fills with water after rolling, should it self bildge, how do I fix it?
Most all Sea-Doo models use a syphon system for getting water out of the hull.It uses the jet stream and bailer tubes that protrude into the stream (causing suction) to remove water.The most efficient way of doing this is wide open throttle in a straight line.Also the exhaust is cooled by the water your running in and if you tip the ski over you`ll get water from the exhaust in the engine and most likely hydrolock it.Then you have to pull the spark lugs out and crank it over till you get the water out and get it to start.Using some flamable carb cleaner shot into the spark plug holes always make this go alot easier when trying to get it started after getting most of the water out.This is very important, while you have the plugs out to crank it over and get water out you must ground the plugs or you`ll burn up the MPEM.They have posts in the engine compartment specifically for that reason.Also you don`t ever want sparks in the engine compartment because it could ignite any gas vapors and cause a fire.My 1997 SeaDoo Bombardier XP fills with water after rolling, should it self bildge, how do I fix it?
id just get in and look for the pump find where th hole is for the bildge. then follow the hose to the pump somtimes those pumps can ge left on and after your out of the water they run for so long they burn up. it aint perty either we have a 200 bass tracker had an areater pup for the live well got left on unnoticed. every time you used it we we spilling 20 gallens of water per hour into the hull of the boat. we replaced the pup and all is wellMy 1997 SeaDoo Bombardier XP fills with water after rolling, should it self bildge, how do I fix it?
The above answer is absolutly correct, but how much water are you talking about? You will always have a little water in the hull...maybe an inch or so...its perfectly normal.
