I had a 2013 Rxtx 260. I was in the middle of messing around with a yamaha Fzr when the jetski shut off on me and wouldn't start. Exhaust leak. I started to sink as well. the jetski was completely underwater and i had a rope tied around the eye of the ski and around my ankle as a tread water and wait for the police to rescue me. It was less than a month old and only had 16 hours on it. Sea-doo of north America was nice enough to refund me my entire purchase price and the dealer sold me a 2014 RXTX for a steep discount. 100+ hours on new ski and Im Riva stage 2 with no problems at all!

Thats what you call being quick on your feet! Nice recovery and way to stay calm...

Great work on staying calm & being prepared !

It was actually my truck keys lol. Had to be able to at least drive home when I made it back to the ramp!

Holy shit man! OMG can you imagine you were alone in the middle of the Long Island sound when that happened!? The closest you'd be to land was either 10 miles North or 10 miles south if you were out in the middle, and you'd be drifting east pretty quickly headed out to the Atlantic ocean! That would not be good. Thankfully you were ok.

Good to hear you got it working again, I'd love to have a seadoo!

I definitely love it! Really like just cruising around in the ocean. When get one you will be addicted!!

They won't sink with all the foam in them so no worries there. I ride alone 90% of time as I'm not going to rely on broke boring friends.

The one for the keys was actually a dry box that came with a tether on it. When I pulled it in the video the box broke open and I was left with just my keys. The tether for the GoPro (if that is what you were asking about) is an 1/8 inch piece of stainless cord from Home Depot with some pieces I crimped to hold the ends and make loops. Then I attached the chord to itself with one of those mountain climbing type clips.

Yeah, have had that happen also lol.I was so thankful I was out with a couple friends and it just reinforced my new moto... "never go wave jumping alone!"

Yep, got it going again and is still a great ski!

This happened to me too about a year ago except I was alone. I was about 15 miles from the ramp when I noticed my acceleration had dropped off immensely after going through a no wake zone. Got to the nearest marina, checked my engine compartment and saw water in it. Decided I was going to run full throttle and try to make it home. I only made it another 2 miles before I ran it up on the nearest boat ramp. The engine shut off about 100 feet before I made it there, but I did save the ski

Definitely! The song is in the description.

@Kujo21 I actually am using a Specialized Deviant II full face. It is super light, has tons of vents (not hot and water flows through) and you barely know your wearing it when/if you hit the water. Probably not as strong as a motorcycle helmet but also not hitting concrete at 90!

dude you saved the shit out of that ski, another minute itwould have been a coral reef. great job on not panicking and gettin shit done.

2004 Sea-Doo RXP. I made it through and so did the RXP, so all good. It was a trip while it was happening though!!!

@D34THBYSH4RP Thank you. Actually sold that ski to one of the other guys on the race team and got the 2012 px. Both great skis!

@douchy1984 Yeah, was pretty lucky to save it. The bars are the Renthal big bar (ProTaper size) kit. They are motocross bars and come with the clamps to convert it over. You could probably use them with the stock clamp with some modification, but I bought a UMI steering setup. If you switch over you will love them!!!

Exhaust hose... pretty crazy! Back on the water this week for sure!

Nice save man! You just added a thing to my check list before I head out! Lol exhaust clamp is tight! Check!!

I've got two Yamaha gp1200r's and they seem to be the perfect Ski's. Havent had a problem doing anything. They top out around 73 and I take them jumping all the time at Villano which is notorious for its waves. mine are 01's and still running like champs.

Good thing your buddy had his Seadoo Rxt260IS! To save you! 😂 I love mine!

I'm the other guy in the video. I'm wearing a Fly Moto Helmet. Not too heavy or hot for 100USD. But the Jettribe helmet Brent wears weighs almost nothing. Always recommend wearing one if you're riding aggressive and/or in big waves.

nice save on the ski man

You can find more detailed info in the description, but it Homesick by Afterglow Radio out of Orlando.

Yep, adhesive mounts. I do have a stainless tether I made to attach the camera to something on the ski , like the bars or rear grab handle.

GREAT VIDEO! sorry about the ski i'm sure it's ok now! i'm going go pro shopping shortly.! Love the quality!

Dont these have a bit of foam in them? Even one of our small outboard boats we had had some floatation in it.

Glad you made it back in alright, That tends to happen farly often with modified standup's. Exhaust heats up and destroys the seal on the rubber piping. Usually its all to blame on some stupidly tiny piece of debris that gets into the cooling system and gets caught in a fitting or tap area. Its silly how something as small as a single piece of styrofoam 0.044 of an inch can determine wether or not your ski lives or dies. I added an inline water screen filter after I cooked my 650sx's engine.

The song was preety good but damm i would of loved to hear what you were screaming glad you managed to get the ski back

Those bars are the Renthal fat bars. That ski had the UNI steering stem that allows you to use any bars you would like. You can also use the stock steering (with some mods) and use any 7/8 mx bar. For the controls I just used a dremel tool and cut a lot of the extra plastic off once I had the bars installed. I think you can get aftermarket housings from RIVA Racing though. The RIVA ones definitely have a better fit and finish.

Enjoy!!! Just got back from the water. It was great weather for it.

Drained it, fixed it and then sold it to a friend. It is still running strong. You can see it in my ramp jumping videos... has the number 245 on it.

Went something like... oh f***, come here, get me a rope, oh f*** my keys, get me that rope! Then wow, that was a trip, glad I was not out here alone this time lol.

The video was awesome. Not shaky or anything. It looked cool when you had to tie the tow rope to your ski in that choppy water.

last time I went wakeboarding I did a standing start from the pier. 2mins into the run I realised I had the car keys in my board shorts. Made it back to the pier and glided straight in and grabbed on for dear life! It was the most stable run I've ever done to date lol

Wanted the px for this race season... the rxp is awesome though. A friend of mine bought it and I still like riding it.

Thank you, kind of but didn't really think about that as an option for how the day would go!

You did a kick ass job, I would have been flipping out hahah.

Wow... that's crazy!!! I never go out without my EPIRB now.

watching this in 720p and in fullsceen feels like im playing a First Person game

great video and great example of why you should always ride with friends. sorry that happened to you but glad it wasn't worse

Yeah, great band! Check out their link in the description.

Yep, exhaust hose. It is usually on the plastic resonator. Because it is plastic, it is sometimes hard to get the clamp to tighten enough to hold it on. A leak in the hose will do the same thing.

there is a rubber coupling between the header and the waterbox muffler, that coupling likes to pop off if not properly tightened or if you do a hard landing forcing pressurized water up the exhaust. good thing you acted fast man Good save

The song is not mine. The bands info is in the description if you would like to contact them and ask. Great band btw!

Looks like you guys had a fun day ahead of ya, too bad you didn't get to finish it, at least it didn't sink though.

I KNOW THIS VIDEO IS OLD BUT ARE THOSE YOUR STOCK HANDLEBARS WITHOUT THE COVER? if so how did you relocate the key and did you just flip around the throttle??

the reverse nut came loose? same happened to my ski and it filled up fast but not as fast as urs.

That has a UMI steering stem. Once you have that you can put any bars on there that you want. Those happen to be the Renthal thick tube bars.

That's a Sea-Doo for ya. You can tell how much they care about hull strength from their new "Spark" model lol

They are mx bars. The UMI steering setup is what you need to change and then you can run any bars you would like. Thank you!

We had a problem like this also, turned out it was one of the engineering caps on the exhaust from the manufacture process has split. water gets pumped around the outside of the exhaust to cool it, and was basically pumping itself full with water. New cap from a motorcycle shop fixed it right up.

Damn. you guys had that taken care of quick. When a standup sinks and all you have is another standup rider it's a pain in the ass.

It was an exhaust hose leak that was spraying water into the hull. It was a simple fix once it was safe back on land.

No, exhaust hose leak. We flushed it out and were left with some wiring problems from the salt water.

Here is the rest of the day on a Yamaha =P I am glad the ski made it back to shore! Anything in the water is bound to have a issue in its life! Extreme Aruba Jetsking

I'm sure you found the issue. I had the exact same issue this year. It was the exhaust hose that runs from the waterbox to muffler came loose.

@GREENcolor111 Me too!!! I'm not going to lie, it was pretty freaky thinking back on it. I went out and bought a coast guard beacon the next day lol.

Yeah, and a UMI steering setup. You can use almost any bars with it.

Yep, that is why it was kind of bobbing in the water. They will not completely sink unless you take the foam out.

I just got the Jettribe carbon helmet, but was using a specialized full face mountain bike helmet before that. Most people are using mx helmet either with the visor really loose with plastic screws, or no visor at all. Get a neck brace of some sort. At a minimum Jettribe makes a foam one that limits motion side to side and backwards without it feeling much different than no brace.

Been there, done that, hit a cruiser wave and the flywheel cover came off. Didn't know what to do so tried to ride in but it was so loud thought I was gonna blow something up. So stopped for a bit and began to sink. Luckily another waverunner came by and towed me in

@BVOtown Outstanding! Thanks!

Yep, it is the UNI steering stem with fat renthal bars and clamp setup.

Damn good save dude !!! Hahaha I couldn't figure out what your getting either tell the end haha that's gotta suck !! You look like you handled it pretty good !! Hope your doing better now haha

That must have been scary! Luckily you weren't riding alone!

One was a Watercraft Superstore custom cover and the other was a custom seat with the foam cut and a custom made cover.

same thing happened to a buddy of mine. we yanked the seat off when we started to pull you should seen the water pouring out. Great grab on the keys!

Honestly I'm so used to wearing one I do not even know it's there. It is a blast for sure!

Never heard of those. I will check them out.

My family has a 95 SPI and an 08 rxp-x, I've been on the SPI since I was 2 and we've kept it in PERFECT shape. Had the same Thing happen to it not too long ago but luckily I was around the dock so I dodged a bullet there!

@macfan999 Yeah, it was about a 2 inch rupture in the main rubber exhaust hose. It started spewing water into the hull and filled it up fast! I was back out the next weekend even though I still had a few water logged related kinks to work out. I was getting the keys to my truck out so I had something to at least drive home, even if I didn't have the ski on the back. I was thinking maybe I would have to dive for them lol.

It definitely freak me out when it started sinking! Btw... the rxp (and others) are closed loop cooling for the motor now and only use the water you're in to cool the exhaust.

I had the same thing happen to me back in August. I have a Seadoo GTX 215. Flying down the bay and it stalled. Called my friend and before I knew it, almost went down. I was out by myself too. Luckily a boat stopped and picked me up. Towed it back and the exhaust hose clamp broke causing water to come in there. Scary stuff
