[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 259238, member: 6937"] Trust me, you didn't. Like I said, I've swamped plenty of jet skis over the years, doing tricks like 'submarine' and 'fire hose' (check out my video 'super jet') and this being done in salt water, not fresh water from the garden hose. Also, since you did not have the engine under a load (prop in the water) and since you weren't turning high RPM's (were you?) there wouldn't be a heavy enough load on the crankshaft to damage anything, even with some water in the crankcase. The trick is to make sure you get all the water out, by blowing it out of the cylinders, and also by running it some, to 'cook off' any remaining water. I'm not sure how you got water in your fuel, unless the water backed up into the cylinders far enough to enter the carbs, then flowing from the return line back to the tank. That's the only possible way I see that happening. If that's so, you might want to go ahead and service the carbs, take them apart and clean them, then re-install. [/QUOTE]
