another pee questions

[vx07]

So I have a new to me 07 VX that only pushes out a little pee... like 2 or 3 inches in height (where my other ski pushed a 5 or 6 foot spray at full throttle). Ran it for a few hours today and it didn't seem to overheat. It ran fantastic. I didn't notice much water inside when I pulled it out (so I don't think the hose is split somewhere). Stuck it on the garden hose afterwards and I didn't see a leak anywhere inside. Pulled the hose off the rear and blew through it and didn't feel any restriction.

What is the likely culprit? Should I be concerned? Like i said, it didn't overheat and it seems to be running fine at the moment... I just want to keep it that way.

Re: another pee questions

not a big deal but there must be a restriction somewhere in that line.. not hard to trace out..

Re: another pee questions

Assume you are talking about the visibility spout and not the pisser on the port side. Mine did that while I was riding in Lake Marion. I found a tiny piece of cypruss driftwood about the size of a fingernail lodged in the nozzle where the rubber hose to the spout takes off. You can probably blow it out with air or maybe a flexible wire. Also notice a ding in my impeller so I assume I ran over it at speed. BTW it's safe to install a valve to block the spout but why would you other than to keep from spraying a skier...

It must be an "old" one, that happens as you get older!!!!

My 2008 VX DLX started doing this last year. Noticed a small ding on the impeller and small piece of cypress driftwood stuck in to port where the signal hose comes off the nozzle. I think most refer to the pisser as the small stream of hot water exiting on the port hull just below the gunwhale
