Hi all,

Looking for a little guidance here if anyone has insight.

Ive not used my ski so much this year as we have the 18 month old on the boat.
Over the weekend I rode the ski after I had to start it with a jump box...well, after my wife took her turn and turned the ski off I could not get it going again even with a jump start.

All I could get was a slight "whur" and some clicking...Im hoping my battery just needs to be replaced...but any insight would be appreciated.

The ski is a 2015 V1 Sport with the MR1 engine.

Thanks!

Start with a new battery. Sounds like typical symptoms

Thanks for the reply, I’ll pick up a battery tomorrow and check that first!

If you have a voltmeter, check standing voltage then recheck after you start up. Make sure it goes up to like 13.5 volts or higher. If it drops lower than your standing volts, you have a charging problem
