All About the SeaDoo Carbon Seal

The Sea-Doo carbon seal is a crucial part of the watercraft's jet pump system. It serves as a seal between the engine's drive shaft and the jet pump housing, preventing water from entering the engine compartment. The carbon seal consists of a stationary carbon ring and a rotating ceramic or stainless steel counterpart, which work together to create a watertight seal. Over time, wear on the carbon seal can lead to water ingress, which may damage the engine or other components. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to keep the carbon seal in good condition and avoid costly repairs. This brief video will teach you everything you need to know about the carbon seal and how to spot one that needs to be serviced.
