After spending your hard earned money on your PWC you should know how to properly protect your investment to avoid frequent repairs in the future. Here are some preventative maintenance you can do to keep your ride in good shape.
1) Storage / After Riding
The amount of service calls we received for corrosion related problems is crazy. Overheat from salt buildup and thermostats corroding causing them to stick. No starts from battery cables popping off & Starter solenoids corroding.
Exterior: Wash down your ski, soap the topside & rinse the whole jetski, seat & jet pump area. This reduces paint damage, seat cover decay & jet pump corrosion & seizing.
Interior: Allow engine to cool after running. Flush engine out of the hose & spray the inside with a light mist of water to wash off salt. Wipe down or let dry & then spray down engine block, water box, battery terminals / cables, motor mounts, carbs, etc with a lubricating spray like WD-40 or CRC's 656 multi-purpose lubricating spray.
Other tips: Use sea foam or a fuel stabilizer of your choice in your fuel for storage and other engine preservation benefits when running.
2) Service
2 Stroke:
Change your spark plugs, fuel filters & keep your battery charge up
Every 50-100hrs get your carburetors rebuilt with new kits, if you want better performance just clean them up every now & them or continue to use oily fuel treatment such as Marvel Mystery Oil on each fill up & flush them often when in storage
Re-fill grease fittings with a few pumps of fresh grease
