I have a 2008 seadoo challenger 180 SE.

I don’t put a ton of time on it, just 15 minutes to a cove, anchor for a couple of hours and 15 minutes back.

every time I get back in the boat the following weekend, the coolant has dropped below minimum or close to the bottom.

the oil is clean and I don’t see any coolant on the floor of the engine bay.

The boat wasn’t driven much before I bought it a couple of months ago and only has 54 hours on it.

any ideas? Thanks.
 
Feel different parts of the bottom of your engine compartment and see if it’s got that slick/slimy feeling that antifreeze has. Guessing your bilge pumps out the little bit you could see IF there is a leak from a loose hose or somethin.

Thank you. I’ll try that.
