So first of all, the first major point I want to bring to the table here —- the Spark DOES have a drain plug, or at least it ought to have when you bought it ( unless you bought it used and it went missing…. be wary of this ) . PAST models of the Sea – Doo have typically had TWO drain plugs on them, but it seems, as many are saying online, that it is actually NORMAL and OK for THIS MODEL, THE SPARK, to just have one….but you can also do two, if you really want to. And these plugs would actually, in times prior, go right on to the back of the hull’s sides ( the 2000 XP was a perfect example of this, if you do remember that model, he heh ) . But like I said, most are stating that the cool thing about the Spark is that you can actually use it with just a single plug or you can go with two. more

Now on that note, if you want that water to circulate more efficiently as you ride the watercraft ( and who doesn’t? He heh ) , then just leave it un – plugged. No joke. That is what you ought to do, and that free tip was made possible by many pros online ( I myself did not even know of it until I looked it up, he he he heh…. thank God for Google, and thank God for YouTube ) . As for the drain plug on the right, kee[ in mind that this one is actually for waters that’s leaked right into the engine’s storage area, as a bilge drain. It also kicks into action if or when the engine’s been cleaned, etc.

But wait, before doing that, just read this page —- he he he heh….. I will tell you much of what you need to know that is useful. I am the expert here, guys. Just listen to my words. And away we go…. more

Curious? Find out if your Spark HAS a drain plug or NOT : Do it for your peace of mind, if for nothing else at all, he he heh. more

As others have said check the casting and also check for any pitted or raised area on the housing where the fiber washer gasket sits. Another thing is that this gasket is fiber, it should not be over torqued. My same drain plug calls for only 7 NM or 5.1 FT LB torque. Overtightening the fiber gasket will crush it and cause it to fail.

You have a fiber gasket Pt # 90430-08020-00, correct?

Maybe overtight? The torque values I gave you are not very much. Once you make contact, you want it snug, you shouldn't have to "grunt" it down. Like I said, too much tight will crush the gasket. Now this is my opinion, the gasket must remain pliable for changes in temperature. If you have access to a torque wrench and a straight blade "screwdriver socket, would be best. If not to be precise, at least get a "feel" for how much you need to tighten it. here
