Your motor is/was hydrolocked. This most likely came from a lot of water
getting into the hull... which was then sucked into the carbs, filling the
crankcase and cylinders.
The clock is ticking right now and you have about 24 hours to get it running
and warmed-up before serious and permanent damage is done to your engine
(internal rust). You probably don't have time to get it to a dealer.
If you're not familiar with "curing" a hydrolocked engine, I suggest you go
over to Sea-Doo.net and search the board for posts on the subject. There
are probably hundreds of them. I believe there is also a "Tech Tip" there
regarding hydrolock. If that doesn't work for you... post back here and
we'll try and talk you through the process.
