sorry but don has no idea what he is talking about. ok, hrer we go. disconnect the steering cable and the vts rod from the steering nozzle. then remove the four 13mm bolts that hold the venturi and steering nozzle on. these will come off as 1 unit. remove the three 5mm allen screws that hold on the pump cone. (make a catch pan out of a plastic jug, cut about 1%26quot; from bottom.) raise the front of the trailer as high as you can get it. put the pan under the pump and using a plastic handle of a big screwdriver tap on the point until it comes off. be sure not to turn engine over or pull on impeller shaft while you have cone off!!! if it has not been changed in a while it will be black and stinky. if the oil is milky. there is water in it and it will need to be resealed. let it drain about 15 or 20 mins. clean the cone out with brake cleaner. the white thing inside is called a pusher if it is round dont worry about it, it shouldnt fall out. if it is half moon shaped pay close attentoin to the taper on the back side to match the tapre of the spring and retainer.clean all the old sealer off the o-ring surface of the cone. get a new o-ring from the dealer when you get your pump oil p/n 293300011.if they try to sell you a 293250085, the 011 fits better. apply loctite 518 to rhe o-ring andput it on the cone. use blue loctite on the screws ant start all three. push the cone straight in and tighten the screws while holding the cone in. be sure the fill plug is toward the top. remove the fill plug, it should be pressure tested @ 9 p.s.i. for 20 mins. fill the pump it should hold about 2 1/2 to 3 oz. it takes a while to fill so be patient. you may think it's full but stop for a minute and then see if it takes more. put pipe thread sealer on fill plug (not teflon tape). be careful not to put the plug in crooked or overtighten. just till it's real snug. reassemble the rest (using the blue loctite on all the bolts. happy boating. if you have any questions, email me.How do I change to pump oil in my 1999 SeaDoo XP? ?
HI I am Don,

To change the oil in your seedo with the least mess you ought to buy a vacuum unit made especially to evacuate the oil.This unit can also be used on your motor vehicles.car van etc

The unit may be purchased from outlets as like Partco,Europarts etc,but you may have to order it.

It works by pushing a tube down into the oil sump and then pumping the unit to create the vacuum ( three different sized vacuum tubes are with the machine.)

The best results are with hot oil The vacuum unit has a pouring friendly spout that enables the captivated oil to be decanted into another vessel.

ps this is quite unlike the vacuuming at home ???

All best Don ( Mackie )
