That is a Seadoo Explorer. It had either a 587 657 or 717 depending on the year. It was made from 93 to 97. It is what launched Seadoo into the jetboat world.

spot on rob .. explorer, i see what you mean about the ground but assure you only ever started in 3 foot of water! But still, any advice on my issue????? think its 95

[rob2337]

I think he means bad electrical ground.

Check battery and engine ground connections

Haha ok... Thans ( see new to this) sorry to be a pain but could you elaborate a bit rob, ( really appreciate your time)

its the big ground that goes from the battery to the bottom of the motor.
