PROPULSION SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
To obtain optimum efficiency of jet pump and to
eliminate backlash in propulsion and drive sys-
tem, the following maintenance items must be
checked regularly.
– Verify oil condition and replace oil regularly. A
whitish oil indicates water contamination. Use
only SEA-DOO JET PUMP SYNTHETIC OIL (P/N
293 600 011).
– Using a grease gun, carefully lubricate PTO fly-
wheel and seal carrier (if applicable) with syn-
thetic grease (P/N 293 550 010). Stop greasing
as soon as the first bit of grease comes out
from under seals.

– Verify impeller shaft end play. For racing pur-
poses, maximum permissible end play (new) is
0.12 – 0.54 mm (.005 – .021 in). Excessive play
comes from worn protrusion (end stop) inside
housing cover. Excessive end play will nega-
tively affect performance.
Visually inspect protrusion (end stop) inside cover.
If worn, a small peak in center will be apparent.
1. Protrusion
NOTE:
On 1997 Sea-Doo watercraft, the cover
has a pusher with a spring inside. The purpose of
the pusher is to reduce drivetrain noise. Check
pusher for wear. The cover retrofits earlier mod-
els.

– Lubricate drive shaft and impeller splines regu-
larly using synthetic grease. The jet pump must
be disassembled and drive shaft removed to
perform this maintenance. This is a good time
to inspect spline condition of your drive shaft. If
excessive drive shaft wear is detected both
PTO flywheel and impeller should be inspect-
ed.
