I drained the water and got new plugs. It started right up, but the next time I took it out every time I gave it gas it just didn't want to go. The fastest it went was 10mph. so I was looking around and there was water in the exhaust. when I disconnected the pipes that connect to the exhaust it sounded fine. When I connected them it kind of bogged out. what could be the problem?

Sounds to me like you still have water in the Carb or in the fuel. The water should be gone from the Cylinders by now. Water in the Exhaust is normal.
Take the cup off the fuel/water seperato to make sure it is fuel only. As for the Carb's, that is a pain to drain, but there should be a plug/cap on the bottom of the carb that will allow you to drain the fuel. Good Luck!

I assume you mean water in the cylinders, not in the plugs.
When you righted the jetski you flipped it the wrong way. There should be an arror on the back of your hull telling you which way is the correct way to un-flip the craft.
I imagine your exhaust is a "wet exhaust" if it is stock. That means water should be in the exhaust and it should have a water supply hooked to it whenever the engine is running.
Take the plugs out and make sure that the engine isnt still sucking water from the intake. Did you check if the carb still has water in it?
Check the intake and make sure that the engine can suck up water to cool itself.
If it is a newer machine and has an electronic CDI you may want to disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset it as some machines have a "limp home" mode if certain conditions are met.
Do you have a way to verify you are getting spark to all the cylinders? If one plug is misfiring or if a wire is bad it will run poorly.
Other potential issues are a bad CDI, ignition coil, or pulser coil in the the stator. These are electronic parts that don't do well subjected to water.

i got water in the air intake system, and that includes the air/fuel mixing apparatus. cars have carburators and TBIs and such. whatever you have for mixing the air/fuel...that needs to be cleaned out
