I recently sucked up a large rock into my impeller on my 2003 seedoo sportster. I took her to the nearest jet ski/boat repair place, they said I needed to replace impeller which was fine, they proceeded to dismantle everything and in the process broke several bolts then returned the boat to my with everything in boxes all taken apart. Anyway I have put everything back together and would really like to see a picture of another sportsters rear gate area to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Also I have a coolant leak, is there a way to fix without taking out the bottom pan on the boat?
Thank you!!
 
What?!? Where the heck was that? I cannot fathom how a shop would think that would be acceptable. Word must be spread on that one.

(sorry, don't have the requested pic... just aghast at your situation!)
 
Assuming 4-Tec model due to coolant leak. Do you have a pressure test kit for the coolant system? If not, grab one from your locale O’reillys on the loan a tool program. Post some pictures of your rear gate area.

Find a service manual online is your best bet.
Also the parts picture on partzilla will help

I feel like something is missing the silver tab I have my finger on seems like it should have a use of some kind, I can’t find it on the diagram from the manual I picked up. I only have it put together to see if any thing is missing I haven’t tightened or used the thread locker yet.
