97 sl780 water outlet?

[Hurricane09]

Hi Guys,

Just picked up 2 skis - a 97 sl780 and 95 650sl, we took them out for a test run and the 650 performed well, but the 780 seems to be in limp mode - just running through some of the great troubleshooting I found on here and want to confirm I'm not overheating, so the quick question is - where is the water outlet on the 780? I can see the water coming out just fine on the 650, but unless it is underneath on the 780, can't see it.

Thanks!
Bob

Follow the large hose from the thermostat housing. That is the water exit from the engine.
