SeaDoo 720 Engine Replacement Part 1 – Removing the Engine

In this video, we begin replacing the blown 720 two-stroke engine on our 2002 SeaDoo jet ski with a rebuilt engine from SBT. The engine we're working on is the Bombardier Rotax 2BCXM 718cc. This is part one of a series where we document the process of getting this jet ski back on the water. It’s our first time doing an engine swap on a jet ski, and it was definitely a learning experience! We hope this video helps others tackling their own engine replacements, but it's not a step-by-step guide. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with your short block.
